Orman commas 

Inappropriately placed commas that seem to abruptly interrupt speech, similar to the way Suze Orman speaks.
When speaking using "Orman commas" one may speak like this: "Let's go, to, the burger joint. We then, should, order some, burgers."

‘specialist’, in inverted commas

a, colloquially, ‘shrink
Half a year rolled around, and, the friendly, nice, practically useless ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, telephones, asking what’s been happening?

I respect your avocation of guitar. I respect your avocation of tennis.

I do NOT respect your vocation yet.

Just tell the ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, paraphrase, ‘I respect your vocations of guitar, and tennis’ yet I do NOT really necessarily respect your vocation, of ‘specialist’, in inverted commas. Sigmund ‘Fraud’ practitioners (the operative word) are like parasites, being fair to parasites.

Vomiting Commas

The practice of using commas and other punctuation marks incorrectly. The writer is usually aware that a comma is needed in the sentence they're writing, but is unclear as to when and where it should be placed. The amount of commas then used is so absurd that it would appear they had figuratively 'vomited' commas all over the piece they have written.
Email from Mark:

'Michelle, did you, want to go to, the park, and have a picnic, and maybe, let me, play with, your boobs, for a bit.'

Email reply from Michelle

'Mark, you're vomiting commas again. You're not getting anywhere near my tits until you stop being a fuckwit and learn some basic grammar'
