Read this piece of a conversation between two typical guys in Riyadh:
For you who live outside Saudi Arabia, 'Sony' is a short for the popular video gaming console Sony PlayStation. So, nothing seems wrong with this conversation, right? Guy2 is an addicted gamer, what's wrong with that? Actually, you are wrong. Because according to Riyadh Jargon Watch, if a person says he was "playing Sony" this does mean that "he was making out with a girl"
This is only an example of the coded language of the young lads in Riyadh. I know few more examples, but because I'm not a Riyadh native, it is not really easy for me to learn more of this secret language. Of course, in all soceities, any group of people can have their secret language. However, in such conservative soceities like the one we have here, things can get really interesting. # »
Guy1: Where the hell have you been last night? I called you like a million times.
Guy2 (looking like he doesn't want to answer that question): OK,OK... I was playing Sony. Do you expect me to answer?
Guy1: aha...
