Actually, a shibboleth's meaning is more complex. It's actually a phrase or principle that distinguishes a group of people and can be used to identify people foreign to said group. For example, in WWII, words with lots of l's were used as a shibboleth to identify Japanese spies, as many Japanese pronounce their l's as r's.
