These guys are really important in the IIRC world.

The dubious disclaimer IIRC is an abbreviation of "If I remember/recall correctly". It is an obvious identifier of the Internet species of homo adloquor-natesis (Ass talkers).

Most often used on mailing lists to indicate some sort of superiority and condescension without actually taking responsibility for what one is saying. Commonly found in threads about the law or computers, and theoretically identical to responsibility shedding powers of Ianal.

Not to be confused with...

Internet Internet Relay Chat - (George W Bush's alternative IRC protocol.)
In Internet Relay Chat
If I Read Correctly
If I Really Cared
If It Really Counts
Immunity and Infection Research Center
Internet Information Research Center
Information Integrity Research Center
International Interdisciplinary Research Colloquium
Isn't It Really Cool? - (the answer is ~~for the most part~~ always "no".)
