My wife had a boss who said “superfluous” when she meant “hypothetically.”
I knew someone who said "superfluous" to mean "overwhelming" or "excessive" The most annoying thing about that is it does in fact make sense

Ugh I can already hear people saying "That IS what it means" so to clarify I mean she just used it as an intensifier, including in the positive sense Like she didn't get why "That was a superfluous display of loyalty" is always a criticism not a praise
