According to the Oxford English Dictionary, superfluous is defined as "in excess of what is necessary, appropriate, or useful". This definition is an accurate reflection of the definition commonly used in everyday speech, where superfluous is often used as a pejorative.

Superfluous words and actions can often create unnecessary delays or distract from the goals of a project or conversation.
