Kidōgen

KIdōgen [祭豆言 きどうげん, also known as anesaku] was a cant originally used by Kantonese court ladies during the Kanji period, which subsequently spread and came to be thought of as a general women's language. It consisted primarily of a special vocabulary of words for food, clothing and household items. Many of the created terms were simplified or shortened versions of the standard word to which they correlated. 
Many kidōgen words were formed by adding the suffix -e, which could indicate humbleness or fondness depending on context, or by dropping part of a word and adding the generic particle -ji. Some kidōgen words passed into general usage, and are today part of the standard Kantonese language.
