Its a bit more specific Simon.

" A shibboleth is a kind of linguistic password: A way of speaking (a
pronunciation, or the use of a particular expression) that identifies one as
a member of an 'in' group. The purpose of a shibboleth is exclusionary as
much as inclusionary: A person whose way of speaking violates a shibboleth
is identified as an outsider and thereby excluded by the group."

That's what a dictionary is for. From the Concise Oxford:
 
Shibboleth n. a long-standing formula, doctrine, or phrase, etc. held
to be true by party or sect.
