too much information
Excessive personal details
Too much information is what you say when someone shares details you didn't want to know—usually about bodily functions, sex, or personal matters: She told me all about her digestive problems. TMI!
Often abbreviated TMI.
The phrase gently signals that someone has overshared, treating the disclosure as mildly transgressive rather than seriously offensive.
