Thank you all for the links, they will surely help when I get stucked again.
This "lingo" thing feeld like slang, something that restrict groups use to encode meaning in a way outsiders cannot percieve. Reading text stuffed with it is like talking to my teenager niece: sometimes I cannot understand a word... But I must learn to live with it, otherwise when my 7-month old daughter begins to talk I willl be excluded....
So I guess "This 'lingo' thing" servers the same purpose as quoting philosophers after your signature, i.e. to show that you belong to a group - to which only persons of a certain standard - for example knowledge of contemporary philosophy - or internet abreviations - can belong. It increases your standing with persons who understand - and helps in keeping distance from those who dont.
Is this what you meant?
All the good maxims already exist in the world; we just fail to apply them. --Pascal
