What dictionary do you have that it's not listed in?

edit: I was wondering if it's supposed to be a joke, but since it's not funny, I figured he must have some non-english dictionary.
 
Wow. "irregardless" is not in my dictionary either. That's not copacetic.
 
If it were not for the suave and acute intelligences of the two mentors, I bwould have checked whether the word "gullible" stood in my dictionary or not..:frown:

It's a really old joke...and no, it never was funny.

The dude who told it to me last week didn't get beaten up this much! :cry:
