WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED "CODE"???


Anybody>

Will someone please explain what is meant by "Code"??

I am beginning to see it referred to more Often.

It seems to refer back to the Craeative Side of Life instead of the Scientific.

Does it refer to De Vinci Code??

Help.

A little context would help. Where are you seeing it and how is the word used?

CODE (one of them, anyway) is a Mexican Off Road Racing organization that runs races out from Mexicali and San Felipe... often on or around Laguna Salada.

The way I have seen the word "code" used in the media is this:
One group or another uses words or phrases that actually has an obscured meaning. They are saying one thing but actually the meaning is much more extensive. They are saying a lot with a little.

The group may be a political action group, a religious group, a club, a bigoted group (KKK, Birchers,White Supremists, etc.) and many others that I may not have included.

Unless you are a member of that group, on the surface you will not know what the real meaning is. In a way it is secret. Often, it can be figured out. The media figures them out quickly.

The reason "code" is used is to soften or mask the real meaning which is more intense. It is often to comply with political correctness, when actually stating something more severe.
Example: Tar Baby- Tar Baby goes way back in African folklore. It was also made famous in the Uncle Remus stories; a doll made of tar in order to ensnare Br'er Rabbit. It is used commonly as a reference for a sticky situation. It is also sometimes used as a derogatory reference to African Americans. John Updike used it as a reference to white women who like black men.
