double talk

Otherwise unnecessary verbiage added in order to confuse the listener, such as using a double negative to make a statement mean the opposite of what it would otherwise mean. See also, doublespeak.

"I didn't say I would not do it; I said I wouldn't not do it."

"That's double talk!"

Double Talk Express

Bus that John McCain travels on around the country that delivers Orwellian like double-talk on politics.

From the back of the Double Talk Express he continues to state wild and inane claims such as, "We can only win in Iraq if we stay in Iraq - and we can leave Iraq only when we win in Iraq" (not a direct quote, but paraphrased from his refusal to define "winning in Iraq").

when two friends are one the phone with each other and one posts a new status and the other one comments while they are on the phone together. They know what each other is going to comment before they comment.

Ronnie and Riley are facebook double talking.
