((Oh, right, I forgot I'm the only judge that's not participating...))
Um... I'd say that warrants a point. It rhymes and subtley references Dominic Deegan.

"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.

"I'm done toying with you-you may now be seated."
{{seriously, the only other thing I could think of was:
"When I'm through with you, your pants will no longer be pleated!"}}

((That's IT! I'm putting a sticky note on my computer about this thread so I stop forgetting!))
Hmm... I don't think I can give you the point for that one. It rhymes, but it really doesn't make much sense, given the insult... Being seated doesn't really have anything to do with quick defeats.
Though if you had gone with the pants one I may have given it to you because it's hilarious XD ...Or maybe out of pity.

{{You said that people shouldn't go out of their way to make it hard to rhyme, and now......}}
"Yes, well, I am the best swordsman ever created."
{{Seriously!
"Well, I used to have better swordplay, but a tree ate it."
It's the only other option!}}

((Yeah, you do have quite a few options with this one: deflated, berated, permiated... uh... constipated... on second thought maybe that one was hard to rhyme with.))
Well, I guess I can give you the point for that one. You could've worded it better, but my interpretation was, "You're sick of staring... at my AWESOMENESS!" which is a perfectly successful retort. And because, well, I get the feeling this'll be a landslide victory for Josiah if you're on the retorting end the whole time...
