ARGOT (originally a French word) is a special language related to a particular group. Medical professionals, for example, may communicate in medical argot, which is hardly understandable by lay people.
SLANG is a popular form of regular language, most often considered "vulgar", in the sense of "spoken by the lower, uneducated classes".

Actually it's argot with the "T" pronounced in some locales (U.S.) but not in others.

Slang is general (e.g., American: "wasted"/British: "pissed" for drunk/stoned) and argot is specialized, for example in certain industries or within certain sub-cultures, like cockney where "Apples and pears" means a flight of stairs (or up the stairs), or in the carnival industry where "with it" means you work in that particular carnival/circus.
