jockspeak 

A series of grunts and other ape-like noises that only jocks seem to understand. On first encounter, the "conversation" may sound perfectly normal. However, on closer inspection, you realize that these "words" only have meaning to the speakers, and aren't really even worthy of being called "words".

Translation of jockspeak can be very difficult without an interpreter (preferably a former jock).
"Uh."
"Mmn."
"Ungh."
"Uh-uh."
"Mm."
"Mmh."
-end of conversation

JackSpeak 

To mumble or say things as if you were Jack Sparrow.
JackSpeak is the art of talking like this:

"...No! If we don't have the key, we can't
open whatever it is we don't have that
it unlocks. So what purpose would be
served in finding whatever need be unlocked,
which we don't have, without first having
found the key what unlocks it?..."

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
