Business-speak would be a noun, it's synonymous with "business-jargon."
However in this sentence fragment: "Godawful business-speak nonsense." "Business-speak" is modifying "nonsense."
Q. What kind of "nonsense?"
A. "Business-speak" nonsense.
I would rewrite it as:
"I hate when people use "ask" as a noun. As in, "What's the ask?" They speak extremely unpleasant and nonsensical business-jargon."
