Whats up with the Use of the "Word" Uper..

I, like, say uber all the time, especially to my hubby ;)

TEASING... but really, I'm guilty of saying hubby, LOL.

And... I remember saying uber in the 90's, is it coming back?

Aw snap ;) <--- my 7 year old's favorite [eye roll]

J.,

Don't be so hard on folks, some of us feel the EXACT same way about the use and overuse of: "LIKE super annoying - LIKE Uper annoying" -- Ya Dig?

Don't get me started about the Never Ending LOL overuse!

OK ladies, guess it's time to tell everyone the words you don't like!

Blessings.....

über ( not uper) is a German word and means 'Very.'

I love to use it, but I also speak German. It's nice to mix it up and introduce other common words from other languages.

I would imagine you hear "Si" for "yes" and "Adios" for good bye in CA???

(Thx Denise - she told me how to insert the umlaut over the U!)

The word is "Uber."

  /ˈubər/ Show Spelled[oo-ber] Show IPA
–adverb
1.
having the specified property to an extreme or excessive degree; very: an uber fancy restaurant.
–adjective
2.
designating a person or thing that exceeds the norms or limits of its kind or class: uber intellectuals.

Also, German ü·ber

üBer--means very, extremely, etc.

I get annoyed by the over use of the word "like" as in your first statement of "its LIKE super annoying" =-) Sorry I'm not being mean...just teasing!

To your question = Über is German but it means = To an extreme or excessive degree (in the English language).

At first I thought you meant Yooper, which is a slang word I know to mean someone who lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But, I don't know what you mean by Uper as it pertains to annoying, this, or that. I can see the use of the word 'uber' in those contexts, which can mean 'super', or 'very', and is usually used like a prefix. Is that what you mean?

Uber, it's German for very. I don't like it either. I used to work and the corporate culture of over using words drove me nuts. For awhile everything was "exciting" people were "subject matter experts" (sme's), ugh, just a few that I remember.

Uber ... It's a german word that has made it's way into the english language, just as many French, Spanish, and some Italian words have made it into the English language.

Ja, for example, is another German word that has made it into English (drove the preceding generation nuts). We spell it phonetically: Yeah. Meaning "yes".

I speak German, Japanese, and Italian near fluently... and a smattering of Arabic and Russian and Spanish. Words from those languages often creep into my English vocabulary. There are slightly different meanings to every word.

Uber, for example is very/extremely... but it also can connote awe or respect. Our word that does something *similar* is "extraordinarily" BUT there's too much emphasis on the unique / out of the oridinary with extraordinarily. Uber fills the gap in our languge.

Seriously, though, I want "love" to get redefined in English. Filial, Fraternal, Romantic... we don't have different words. Instead we go on and one saying "Love but not IN love"... or "I love you, not like that, ah... you know what I mean." <rolls eyes> Can't wait for our lexicon to absorb some latin.

Yes it's uber.

I don't think that one annoys me as much as "ya". "You" is just one more letter and doesn't sound unintelligent. lol... my pet peeve! :-P

Uber - meaning "superior"...

It's another "new" overused word that has "caught" on...

that's Uber Cool.
That's Uber special.

I think you mean "uber".

psh, no worse than HUBBY, tehehe!

:)

Yeah I think it is "uber" and I have heard it in the first ice age movie. When the mammoth calls the saber-tooth an "uber-tracker".

Uber meaning super (latin), large or to rise above (German), often as a prefix in a word in the German language.

ummmmmmm..................

It's not preschool talk. My teens have been using "uber" for well over a year.

Uber is not so new. Hella is the newer "uber". That is hella-cool. But that's old now too. Who knows what the young kids are saying these days! I don't!!! (I'm 40)

Uber - not uper.

Your teeth are uber white!
Those shoes are uber cool!

It's not a new word. It's been around!
