zahtzee

Overly fancy, unnecessarily exotic, eccentric, or more elaborate than the situation reasonably calls for; characterized by an excessive degree of flair, complexity, or unconventionality.

Often used to describe something that is impressive or interesting, but perhaps a bit much for its intended purpose.

“That chandelier is a little zahtzee for a garage.”

“We could do the standard LED wall, but the client wants something zahtzee.”

“The restaurant was good, but the whole presentation was too zahtzee.”
