Maybe it's just me, but really, "unctuous"?
unctuous \UNGK-choo-us\, adjective:
1. Of the nature or quality of an unguent or ointment; fatty; oily; greasy.
2. Having a smooth, greasy feel, as certain minerals.
3. Insincerely or excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; marked by a false or smug earnestness or agreeableness.
CROM, is 'unwarranted' or 'unnecessary' too hard to use or is somebody from your college lit class visiting?
