Uber Definition

Uber is used a lot in slang, where it is referring to something that is particularly whatever word that follows uber.

Like someone might say that is an uber cool bag, then mean that is a really/super/etc cool bag.

It actually means over, but was taken out of context by a lot of video game players when they spoke about the screen lighting, so it has become a part of our slang language meaning super.

There are a few websites that support this.

The ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better than.

and / or

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.

and / or

German for the word "above", but more commonly used on the internet for being the best, the top, the supreme, the highest of highest.
