"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I'm not sure about this one... it's effective and decidedly more harsh than the original insult... but it strikes me as excessively wordy and it certainly doesn't help that 'embarassed' is spelled wrong. Meh... I'll just give you the point.

((Oops... Lousy typo. Yeah, I did think it was kinda long but I couldn't think of a good shorter version.))
((Hmm... Insult Sword Fights has been kinda dead lately. If I beat the swordmaster I'll roll out the next addition I have planned for this section and see if that livens things up a bit.))
"Yep, I was the one who always scored higher than you, remember?"
