Pay some irrespect

I overheard this as I walked past a workstation this morning:

"Irregardless, we should still..."

With all due irrespect, I think you've just committed a language funny.

The word "irregardless" is, of course, de rigeur for all fans of "The Sopranos". The silver-winged king of taste, Paulie, a man of scant irregard for human life, disrespective of the occasion, has made this dysregular word his very own.
