Dolphin Speak

When a group of girls or women, usually close friends, get excited while talking to each other. They start talking rapidly, in a high pitched tone.
I saw your little sister at the mall. I don’t know where she was headed, because Becky showed up. Then some dolphin speak started about a boy, or a skirt, or was it chocolate.

All I know, is that my ears are still ringing.

Stapp Speak 

Talking or singing like Scott Stapp, the lead singer of post grunge band Creed. There are three basic guidelines for proper Stapp Speak:

1) the mouth must be shaped to pronounce "R" at all times. 2) The last vowel of most words the Stapp Speaker uses must be substituted with "errah", "err", or "eeya". Translated into Stapp Speak: Therrah lerrast vowerrl errahf merahst werrahds therrah Sterrahp Speakerrah userrahs merrust berrah substituterrahed with "errah", "err", or "eeya". This rule may be omitted to certain words by the Stapp Speaker's own judgment. 3) When all else fails, just make it sound stupid.

Singing in this voice can at worst lead to vocal damage and at best make everyone hate your band.

Couple Speak 

The annoying way couples often speak to each other. Usually in hushed tones, and when they are really close to each other. Often occurs during cuddling.
Oh dear god, all Lance and Margret did last night was cuddle and couple speak.

We were all trying to have fun, but Clara and Mark just sat together and guess what? Yup, couple speak.

Cop-speak 

An exaggeratedly wordy jargon, frequently spoken in a mono-tone passive voice. Descriptive yet extremely vague, this is used when describing a situation in order to increase the appearance of intelligence or credibility, while cloaking truth in a mountain of syllables.
The police officer used cop-speak to convince the jury that the use of force was justified.
