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.
If I hear one more person say "overly" I'm going to get overly angry and cave their face in with a shovel, then dig out their brains with a trowel and feed the goo to some vegetarians who say "overly" a lot.

overly specific 

The articulation of a fantasy; or, the practicing of an act that is waaaaaaaaaaaay to descriptive to have just spontaneously arisen in the mind of the articulator or the performer.

And if you ask them to repeat what they just said or did; they actual can — on demand.

Verbatim.

AND THEY DO NOT HESITATE OR STUTTER!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Then, I had it enlarged and copied at the print shop on cream colored heavy poster paper — the same color she painted our bedroom when she redecorated in happier times.

Friend#1) Man! THAT’S WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERLY SPECIFIC!!!!!!!

Overly Attached Girlfriend.

Yet another meme that has spawned due to the Creepy-ass competition entry sent in by a girl called Laina. Justin Bieber set up a competition asking all fans to enter in their own entries of his song 'Boyfriend', with new lyrics and such. Laina played the role of an overly attached girlfriend, who sings creepy lyrics and doesn't blink once throughout the whole video. Although a parody, this inspired a meme with her face featured in it. It usually ''compliments'' a number of creepy things a Overly Attached Girlfriend would say.
Overly Attached Girlfriend. 'It took you 15 minutes to get home. Google says it only takes 12. Who is she?''
