"All I'm saying is that people who say 'irregardless' are TOTAL CRETINS!"
"LOTS of people say 'irregardless.'"
"That's exactly my point! 'LOTS' of people ARE cretins!!!" 
"Look: just because a person doesn't have "BOOK SMARTS" doesn't mean he or she 
 is STUPID! That newscaster might have a lot of EMOTIONAL intelligence!" 
"May I inject one teensy-weensy thought?" 
"Go ahead!" 
"Emotional Intelligence is CRAP!!!"
