dog-whistle politics
A type of political speech using code words that appear to mean one thing to the general population but have a different meaning for a targeted part of the audience.
The Economist: “Over the past few weeks, a new expression has entered the Westminster lexicon: dog-whistle politics. It means putting out a message that, like a high-pitched dog-whistle, is only fully audible to those at whom it is directly aimed.”
