>I studied socialwork as part of my degree course. If you think ubf code language is bad you should look at social work, and the meaningless jargon social workers use intelligable to no one other than social workers. Every interest group seems to develops its own language. I think the objective is not so much as to draw others in but to keep outsiders out, the exclusivity syndrome. The Christian Church has plenty of phrases that I would never dream of using, as they just build a wall between the insider and the outsider.
I think that they create a feeling of superiority.
