Just "over", if I'm not wrong.

Also, using "kindah" in a thread complaining about "uber" is a little bit lol.

He's right, Über, is German and means " Over " , in most context.


Q u o t e:
Term with literal meaning of "above" in German. Brought to the mainstream in the early 80's by hardcore American punk band, the Dead Kennedys when using the term in the anti-Californian government song "California Uber Alles", which is a take off the German motto of "Deustchland Uber Alles", which translates to "Germany above all." The term was picked up in their native California stomping grounds by the typical surfers and "punks" and extended from there to many teenagers, the majority of which use the term online.


That was uber-lame
.


Q u o t e:
(1) german word for "above" or "over" (correct spelling "über")
(2) Became popular in the american language through its occurence in a phrase of the old **%!-time german anthem, re-used by punk bands ("california über alles")
(3) Is now used as a substitute for "really" or "very" etc.
(1) Ich sehe die Sterne über mir (I see the stars above me)
(2) "...Deutschland über Alles..." (Germany above All Things)
(3) This website is über-informative



Now shut up, and start being uber.

Even a broken clock is right atleast two times a day.

no it's not really a german word in that part. Über means "Over" so it basicly has nothing to do with games. germans use it when they say things like "xy is Über" which just means the same why we use the term now. and it doesn't equal overpowered but rather the same as you say "imba" you wouldn't mean it is imbalanced but just "awesome" "great"

This isn't a "German motto". That was a line of the lyrics of the German national anthem used during the Third Reich. It hasn't been part of the anthem for over sixty years.

I hate all these words..


UBER
IMBA
LOL
LEET
RAWR
ROFL
PWN

and the worst offender PEWPEW

And any other word used by IMBAciles because they cannot spell properly or are just too lazy to type.

I know what people say, it being the internet and we should all just learn to get on with it, but it sits heavy on my mind that people just sound like a ##!%@!@!*% when they use these words.

(Don't care if you all think I am an old stick in the mud, at least my use of the English language is not up for ridicule)

The greatest trick Blizzard ever pulled was convincing the Karazhan Server the Alliance didn't exist. And like that, poof. They were gone!!

Was going to say, I don't see people using uber at all, "imba" has taken its place for the most part.

Those that can; do. Those that can't; PvP.

Funny how it comes around again, that word was THE word 10 years ago.

For me its kinda like paisley...best forgotten.

Bad theorycrafting tells you nothing, good theorycrafting at least gives you something to think about.
Knowing the difference will involve some effort on your own behalf.
