uber: "From the German word über, which means 'above' or 'over'"
when used for english however... it's used as meaning "Ultimate"
or basicaly more super then super.
and I've always herd it said oober (don't drag the 'O' sound out though)

Uber is above super: It's essence is The Ultimate. Uber (oober) celebrity is someone above a superstar. It's the ultimate A-lister. It's Michael Jackson as opposed to Shania Twain. Tom Cruise as opposed to Harrison Ford. One is a country superstar, but EVERYONE knows who Michael Jackson is.

It could be in fashion now but it's been used here in america for a long time. It's one of my favorite uber-prefixes, been slinging that BS for years.

uber is German for super, so yes, they are equal. You would pronounce it as if it started with 2 o's. oober

It means "above" in German. It is hip if you want it to be. I don't think it is. Generally pronounced "oo-ber".
