Hyperbole (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overkill

'hyperbole' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for overkill that I've seen before include "Hyperbole" , "Action far more drastic than necessary" , "Excessive action, armament" , "much more than required" , "Excessive effort for task - sounds deadly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
