irregardlessificationising (noun. gerund) - the adoption of a neologism by adding extraneous affixes to an already existing and perfectly fine word. For example, using 'irregardless" instead of "regardless". The term is used to mock the use of such words in speech or writing, or by inclusion in dictionaries.
Synonym: affixationizingism
Etymology: Formed by its own example of adding extraneous affixes from irregardless; this is also an example of nouning an adverb. Note that the preferred spelling uses the British -ising for added insult, but may also be spelled irregardlessificationizing with -izing.
