Irregardless, "over the back", "reaching", "on the floor", are some of the all time basics. What else is out there that's classic? Whenever someone shouts out either or all of these famous "dumbspeaks" (including irregardless), we all know what they're communicating and therin lies the irony. If indeed "over the back" is not in the rule book, then why do we call it? Although, those of us "in the know" never/ever make such a fubar call, we instead call "push" but we call "push" everytime someone is "over the back" or "ON the back". Same for reaching and my all time favorite "on the floor" instead of "before the shot" or "no shot" or simply "32 red, block, spot". It can be maddening and comical all at the same time...part of why we get the big bucks, irregardless of what that means.
