Tell me, what is the point of the word "Uber?"

It's a German word that means "over," if you're looking for a literal meaning. It's a legitimate word.

I'm Really good, I'm the best, I'm invincible. Those sort of things. They think they are the best. Though most of the time they are Noobs. <- Please excuse my swearing.

Note that the German word is actually "über", and ü is pronounced unlike anything we have in English.
