     [ "overly" ]

    1: A sad, sad sham of a word intended as "to an excessive degree." Ironically, rather than simplifying things for those with short attention spans, the use of "overly" adds syllables not to be found where the prefix over- (as in overly confident/overconfident) or the adverb "too" (as in overly tired/too tired) are employed. Seriously, are these people incapable of "too"? What about "excessively" if you want to sound smart? Overly retarded, that's what it is.

      * e.g.,  ... 1) Her: Do you think people ever make love on the living room floor covered with a large plastic drop cloth; after rubbing each other down with warm sesame oil while listening to a Drake album on infinite repeat? Him: Wow, babe!!!! That’s waaaaaaaaaaaay overly specific!!!!!! 2) Friend #1 When you go to the gun range what do you use as a target? Friend #2 Me? I traced an outline from a picture I pirated from Facebook of my ex-wife and her new husband on tracing paper using a thin Sharpie Marker.
