Please, please, PLEEEEZE! I beg of you, have mercy on the rest of us and let this word go. If I hear the word “irregardless” from you just one more time, you’ll be treated to a remake of “The Exorcist”, with all the accompanying head-twisting, pea-soup vomit spewing and profanity you can handle. I’ll even throw in a fairly good rendition of Satan’s growl for your amusement.
Never mind that “irregardless” is annoying on its own. But I do not think that word means what you think it means, Madam. You remind me of a kid who has just learned a new word and inserts it into the conversation at random, and as frequently as possible. Whereas other people might use “basically” (equally annoying), or some such other filler word, “irregardless” seems to be your favorite, and it grates on my nerves more and more strongly each time I hear it.
Yes, I actually counted the number of times you uttered this word during the meeting last week. During the course of a forty-five minute meeting, you spoke The Word That Makes Me Want to Start A Catfight seventeen times. Seventeen times, for corn’s sake! Give it a rest!
You’re a nice enough gal and I don’t want to step on your toes. But if I hear “irregardless” just ONE more time… RAWR!!

A lady on “Judge Judy” the other day said “In regeneration to that matter…”
I don’t think Judge Judy was impressed.

Bad enough, but the guy at work who keeps using the word “coz” (subsitute for ‘because’) in his work e-mail communications could run regeneration lady up a tree. “Coz” this and “coz” that. Think I’m gonna coz him a smack upside the damned head. :rolleyes:
At least he seems to have tapered off as of late. Maybe someone learned him a good lesson about it.

I’m assuming “regards” but man, that’s far off.

Yup. She was one of those people who, instead of speaking plainly, thinks that she’ll sound more intelligent if she throws in words with more syllables.
