Jargon becomes our language when we don't know what we want to say or how to say it.

This is actually fairly insightful.

Unless you understand the jargon, then it becomes a way to communicate complex or just more broadly unsimplistic information to other people who also understand the jargon. "Net income" might qualify as jargon to a doctor, but its not to anyone in an accounting or finance capacity. They now exactly what I want to say and I know exactly what I'm trying to say.


But broadly speaking it certainly has a nice ring to it.

I don't think so. And particularly in the financial world, jargon is often used for efficient shorthand when speed is essential.
