I have heard that part of the point is so that parents cannot understand the conversation. It is not a side effect, it is the point.

This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true... Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.

Go look at 70's and 80's slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound "hip".
