I believe it's using certain language or phrases that sound fine on their face but have hidden signals or meanings to certain groups. Probably a bad example but off the top of my head something like a politician saying "you should have the right to protect your family in your own home" could be a dog whistle to say that they oppose gun restrictions.

Got it, thanks! That was a good example.
