extreme

1) Outermost or farthest. The greatest or highest; most. Far beyond what is considered normal. Drastic.

2)One of most overused words in the current english language.

The first definition is self-explanatory. But, I like to have fun with the second one. How about AN EXTREME NAP? Maybe EXTREME DEODERANT? Maybe EXTREME BAGELS at Brueger's. You get the idea. The word is EXTREMELY overused.
