Adverb
1. "without lack of regard" or "not without regard"
Adjective
1. "not disregardful"
While many claim it to be grammatically incorrect and brush it off as the dumb way of saying "regardless", there is a meaningful place for this word in the English language. The unreduced double negative formed by the prefix and affix acts as a redundant intensifier of the root word "regard"; meaning this word is useful in certain circumstances for emphasizing the sheer amount of regard or the mere presence of regard in a given situation. It is similar to the usage of superlative reflexive pronouns.

This is a word used by stupid American's. They mix words together in much the same way as you see their rather poorly educated President, Mr Bush, make up words on the spur of the moment.
If you examine any sentence where someone uses the word "irregardless" and you replace it with the word "regardless" then the sentence means exactly the same thing.
It is therefore a totally superfluous word and is actually a fanastic way of spotting a dumb-ass. Another word that help you spot a dumb-ass is supposebly (where the actual word is supposedly). There are many other examples :) used mostly by dumb Americans.
