	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.

	So.. all this slang then. It's supposed to mean what? Like when people say "I'm uber leet."

	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.
