overloads
Gives too much
Overloads means gives too much of something—too much work, too much weight, too much electrical current.
An overloaded circuit trips a breaker.
An overloaded employee burns out.
The noun is the excess itself or the state of being overwhelmed: information overload.
In programming, to overload a function is to define multiple versions that accept different inputs, letting the same name handle varied situations.
