Chinook JargonA pidgin incorporating Chinook and French and English words; formerly used as a lingua franca in northwestern North America. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
Chinook JargonChinook Jargon was a trade language (or pidgin) of the Pacific Northwest, which spread quickly up the West Coast from Oregon, through Washington, British Columbia, and as far as Alaska. It is related to, but not the same as the indigenous language of the Chinook people. The term Chinook Jargon is actually growing a bit obsolete; most books written in English still use the term Chinook Jargon, but today the term Chinook Wawa is often used. (references)

How Jargon WorksComputingHow Jargon Works. Source: Jargon File..
Jargon ConstructionComputingJargon Construction There are some standard methods of jargonification that became established quite early (i.e., before 1970), spreading from such sources as the Tech Model Railroad Club, the PDP-1 SPACEWAR hackers, and John McCarthy's original crew of LISPers. These include verb doubling, soundalike slang, the `-P' convention, overgeneralization, spoken inarticulations, and anthropomorphization. Each is discussed below. We also cover the standard comparatives for design quality. Of these six, verb doubling, overgeneralization, anthropomorphization, and (especially) spoken inarticulations have become quite general; but soundalike slang is still largely confined to MIT and other large universities, and the `-P' convention is found only where LISPers flourish.

Jargon FileComputingJargon File The on-line hacker Jargon File. A large collection of (often amusing) definitions of computing terms.
