Essay help, Please?

“Think about a language you speak w/ close friends or family members. What are some characteristics of this language that outsiders might find difficult to understand. Write an essay that focuses on the idea of a “personal” language. Use your experience to give an extended language”

So this is the question. Please give me some ideas. I am lost.

Can you also give a central idea.

My friends love to talk in movie quotes or symbolisms. For example when I say Arnold Swartzenegger I mean I will be back later. We also love to substitute curse words for Smurf. Such as you got to be smurfing me. Or what the smurf is wrong with you.

We also sign our emails with E.S. & C.O.I which means eat stuff and choke on it. Now to the outsider we might seem mean to each other. Yet, to us it is simply mutual ribbing.

Doing the naked monkey means climbing up to the top bunk in your underwear.

Dropping a duece is well going to the bathroom #2 style.

Shaking hands with the unemployed is well number 1.

When someone passes air we say “Flatulations on that one”

Putting the fire dept on standby means we are going to cook dinner.

Who wants fear factor means dinner is ready.

Have a good circus is a way of saying goodbye.

Ba Ba Booey is also a way to say good bye.

Huevos Rancheros is a way to say good bye, from the cartoon Itsy Bitsy Spider

Donkey Smell is thank you in German, from Cheech and Chong.

You’re on Double Secret Probation means youre in trouble, from Animal House

To Joan Rivers means can we talk.

I hope that helps

Is this a comm class? I’m taking one now too!

Normally you have code words or things you say to your friends that other people might not understand. I’m not sure what yours are so I can’t help you with that part!

Also think about how you can communicate with some one you are close too w/o using many words at all… Shile with some one you have just met you will have to say alot!

For example my best friend, boyfriend, and mom and look at me and tell my mood because they know me so well. They can tell what I think of someone or what I’m thinking by my body language or the way I talk to them… While someone I do not know as well would have no idea about these things!
