I am an Uber-Nerd.
The word über (German pronunciation (help·info)) comes from the German language. It is a cognate of both Latin super and Greek ύπερ (hyper), as well as English over (as in "overkill"😉. During the late 1990s, über also became a synonym for super; e.g. übercool = supercool, generally with a slightly intensified meaning. Über is commonly written as uber in English, though with slightly different meaning.
The normal transliteration for the 'ü'-Umlaut when changing from German would be ue, not just 'u', however it could be argued that the American English use of the word uber is a new word distinct from ueber. This is because English is defined by common use of words, which dictionaries and academia record, not the reverse. The use of 'ü', 'u', and 'ue' in the word is an emerging trend in common usage with no clear consensus
"Über" may easily replace "super" to emphasize almost any adjective, e.g. "übercool" rather than "supercool". This usage, as a general intensifier like "very", is the only English usage not faithful to the original German.
Über is an online gaming term for a player or object that is considered superior. For example, a player who has accumulated the most points or rare and advanced weapons, tools, clothing, or spells available in the online game could be referred to as über. Rare or powerful items themselves are also frequently called über. Something does not even have to be a tangible object to be considered über; for example, a player could use an "über strategy" or "über haxs." The word is used fairly frequently in MMORPG computer games.
Dont confuse me with being an 00ber nerd:
"00ber", a leet spelling of "über", is often used in relation to the Pokémon gaming products. "00ber" is seeing declining usage, being replaced by the more standard "über" or "uber".
