1/2"-inside-diameter crimp-on tubing is usually more than adequate for regular household faucets and toilets/tubs/showers; anything larger than that would likely be pexcessive.

mexcessive 

"Loving all things Spanish" to a greater-than-normal degree.

Loving an occasional serving of enchiladas or hot tamales is all well and good, but visiting Fernando's Flamin' Tacos every weekend sounds just a trifle mexcessive to me.

If you merely want to make your enemy feel moderate discomfort, using more than three or four curse-bodkins might be hexcessive.

paintriotism 

Going all "I love America and apple pie" wif yer watercolors.

If I spray-doodle an image of Old Glory on da wall of a public building, can I claim paintriotism if I get accused of graffiti?

propiety

Da bible-thumpers' assorted "sniffy 'n' stuffy" rules regarding acceptable dress/behavior.

Many dishonest or hypocritical folks are outwardly devout and church-going, but that hardly makes them very good examples of propiety!

Flaunting of da fact dat you haven't vacuumed in a while.

There may indeed not be any laws against immodusty, but do you really think dat other folks would actually wanna see dat you aren't exactly da best housekeeper???
