renkinjutsushi: alchemist
"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.

moe: a cute fetish of sorts (not the X rated kind). For example, someone who really likes girls with ponytails (a ponytail moe) or girls in maid outfits (a maid moe). Used both to refer to specific moe and for the whole concept of moe (themed cute looks).
