personally, I dont find it offensive, but its a bit long,

out of:

abounding, de trop, dispensable, excess, excessive, exorbitant,  
expendable, extravagant, extreme, gratuitous, in excess, inessential,  
inordinate, lavish, leftover, needless, nonessential, overflowing,  
overmuch, pleonastic, profuse, redundant, remaining, residuary, spare,  
superabundant, supererogatory, superfluent, supernumerary, surplus,  
unasked, uncalled-for, unneeded, unrequired, unwanted, useless

I quite like <surplus>

or <otiose> would be fun :-}
