From German über (“above, over”)

uber-

(slang) Super; really; mega-.

Uber-fans forget that even a sporting arena is a public place, not the living room; and that in public places certain rules of conduct apply. ^[2]

A hyperbolic term, implying extremely, to the point of obsession. May accordingly have pejorative connotations, as in uberdork, ubergeek.

slang: super, really, mega-

Danish: mega- (da), over- (da), super- (da) (sarcastically or rarely used), hyper- (da) (exaggerative)
