Argot & Subgroups

I can relate this topic because in every organiztion, sorority, frat. job, or sport there is a certain language in which one speaks. For example in dance there are certain terms that only we as dancers understood. For example if we were at a rehearsal and someone says "from the top" the means start the dance from the begininng. If the instructor says "Full out" thats the instructor telling you to perform the dance to your best ability. If we say "run through" that means just going through the routine step my step with no music. There are many other different terms we use in dance but those were are some of the basics. At first the terms might be confusing but after you've been dancing a while will learn the hang of it. In general i can be a little frustrating when your dont understand what someone is talking about because you're not apart of their subgroup, but i think thats what makes each org., sport, activity etc. interesting.
