Except it’s not listed as slang in the definition you’ve provided at all, is it? It’s listed as nonstandard, and in my personal, entirely subjective, holier-than-thou opinion, people that use it, rather than the actual word with which it shares an identical meaning, make themselves look stupid. I find (because I point out the ridiculous decision to use this word in real life) that 1. people don’t typically realize it’s stupid until it’s pointed out to them that it’s nonstandard and has no discernible difference from “regardless” and 2. that people that do realize this tend to agree with me, in my personal experience. Double negatives are not your friends. YMMV, but if you have friends that regularly say this, they probably aren’t as smart as they think they are.

Also, to be abundantly clear, “irregardless” is objectively not slang.

I know it's not slang. It's not an acronym either. Perhaps I should have said "everyone should avoid using slang and acronyms too". I added slang because it's even less grammatically correct to use than nonstandard words. I think it's funny, I joke about it a lot. I try to use it tongue in cheek whenever I can. I've even added in words like "irregarding" and "irregards". Keith Ducan gave his irregards to Scott Frost on Black Friday didn't he If we're being frank, Being the grammar police is unbecoming.

Let us not chastise those that volunteer their hard won grammar skills to the betterment of college football forums everywhere. So few persist at such a thankless task, requiring the utmost dedication to such a clearly pointless endeavor.

I’m happy you understand that it ranks among feeding the starving and housing orphans.
