Yeah you're right but I still feel that what's going on now is really what Anthony Burgess was writing about. I still think it's different to the examples you give. For example the characters on 'A Clockwork Orange' and the people withing the kind of culture I'm talking about that is around now don't speak like that to confuse people I don't think. The slang is more developed; what they are speaking is further removed from how the most people would speak than those other similar examples. And I think that though it isn't so specifically used to confuse outsiders it is used to separate themselves from adults or other people so in a way it is used to confuse these people but just to separate themselves from them, not for any specific criminal aim. It shows a kind of alienation or disclocation from the majority or socety that these youths in 'Clockwork' and today seem to experiencing.
