The word "lingo" refers to slang or jargon, certain special expressions and idioms that members of a particular group (like doctors, Baseball players, or musicians) use with each other; these words would probably not be understandable to people not in that group. "Lingo" seems to come from the Latin word "lingua," which means a language.
