Fugitive language refers to a form of secret communication used by marginalized or oppressed communities to convey messages discreetly. One example of fugitive language is Polari, which was primarily spoken by British men in the 19th and 20th centuries. Polari involved altering English words by adding unique slang terms, rhyming words, or reversing the pronunciation to create a secretive vocabulary understood only by those within the community.

Example: "I'm going to vada the bona omee polari at the lattie hary." (Translation: "I'm going to see the good man quickly at the queer club.")
