In computer programming, overkill is referred to writing excessively more code than needed for a certain task. It can also mean writing up an endless function for which an already built-in one is available, and that the written one can even be less stable.
Foo wrote a 97 line function to calculate days between two dates when all he could have done (using php) is convert the Gregorian Dates to Julian Dates using built-in function GregorianToJD() and execute a simple subtraction, now that's overkill. This would reduce the code to 2-3 lines.

Taking something that was awesome and overusing it so much that it starts to suck, and become annoying. Usually done by the annoying outsider in the group who doesn't know when to stop. Ofter this occurs by going too far with it, as well.
Person A - Hey remember when blah blah blah...
Person B - That was a month ago. It was barely funny then, and it isn't funny now. Overkill!
Person A - Man, the only way you could have gotten that mark was by sleeping with the teacher!
Person B - Shut up.
Person C - Yeah! You must have like. Spread your legs to pass for anything, and screwed every teacher up the ass!
Person A - Yeah, you just overkilled it.
