I really don't get the term co-irker.

Doesn't it imply that you are also an irker?

    Coworkers that irk you are co-irkers. Although I am sure you are not off base by saying "you are also an irker". Just as people irk us we irk others.

    Yes.

    Plus, it's stupid.

    Yeah, I get that it's a made up word-hybrid and it's supposed to be funny. I just can't get over using the prefix co- with an insult. It's like saying co-idiot, co-loser,  or co-jerk.

    I agree. It's not a very good play on words (in my opinion).

    Haha - love this :)  I think about it every time I see the word, but since I am still so "new" keep thinking better of mentioning it.
