In simple language, “overkill” is an internet slang term that refers to doing something to an excessive or extreme degree. It is often used to describe a situation where more effort, force, or action is applied than necessary, leading to an exaggerated or unnecessary outcome.
Examples:
1. Imagine someone posting a funny meme on social media and receiving a flood of comments, each containing a different variation of “LOL” or “hahaha.” This can be seen as overkill, as people are excessively expressing their amusement rather than providing a single comment.
2. Let’s say you and your friend are deciding on what toppings to get on your pizza, and you end up topping it with every ingredient available. The pizza becomes overloaded with toppings, which can be considered overkill as you’ve gone beyond what is necessary for a delicious pizza experience.
