Textspeak 

The process of shortening words and adding numbers to a text message, to make it "cooler". This form of text messaging is highly annoying and can also be used to sell "trendy" products like 50cc scooters and mobile phones. Often involves leaving out all vowels.

twatspeak 

Meaningless drivel routinely churned out by politicians, people in marketing, management etc. Mainly the product of laziness, as it is easier to repeat impressive sounding words they have heard others use rather than think of something original to say.
The politician spoke of the need to roll out plans to proactively upskill stakeholders, thus empowering them and incentivizing them to meet the challenges of the 21st century global workplace. Everyone knew he was talking in twatspeak, and ignored him.
