The word über (German pronunciation) comes from the German language. It is a cognate of both Latin super and Greek ύπερ (hyper), as well as English over (as in "overkill"). During the late 1990s, über also became a synonym for super; e.g. übercool = supercool, generally with a slightly intensified meaning. Über is commonly written as uber in English, though with slightly different meaning.
The normal transliteration for the 'ü'-Umlaut when changing from German would be ue, not just 'u'; however, it could be argued that the American English use of the word uber is a new word distinct from ueber. This is because English is defined by common use of words, which dictionaries and academia record, not the reverse. The use of 'ü', 'u', and 'ue' in the word is an emerging trend in common usage with no clear consensus.

uber is like hashtag .... they are both stupid expressions that have no meaning whatsoever.
The " # " sign mean either number or the pound sign on a telephone keypad.

Its another way of saying 'ultra' or 'super'
Uber-cool, uber-hot. Its colloquialism, and don't think it's even in the dictionary.
