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.
"We are still displeased with the irregardlessificationizing of language by adding extraneous affixes to create malarkey
words, but pandemic is a fitting #WordOfTheYear."
"So much
pretentious business jargon (like 'actionable' or 'ideation' or 'pre-meeting' or 'wordsmithing') uses irregardlessificationising to appear smart in
front of co-workers, but is both ridiculous and condescending."
