delaneyism 

A particular way of speaking where words are often replaced with other words that are close to the original but make little sense to most people who haven't been around someone who speaks like that enough to finally understand. Replacement words are often modified versions of actual words or sarcastic replacements that mock the usual commonly known way of expressing the sentiment. Delaneyism may also invoove metaphors that are kinda just out there and a touch overboard.

Deletism 

n. the specific elitism in which the party exhibiting such arrogance attempts to insult a social networking friend (like on Facebook or twitter) by posting an insult on the given friend's page followed by the proclaimation, "I am now going to defriend you!" or "I shall now unfollow you!"
