Don't know about German, but in English it means a Jamaican gangster - most likely the English word is being used in German, as that word is used in Jamaica. Hope this helps

It can have a double meaning. The first and most often used definition is 'over' as in 'overhead' or 'over the river'. However, it can also be loosely translated as "super". Nietzsche coined the phrase "Ubermensch" (can be translated as Overman, or sometimes Superman) in his famous work 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. He describes his Superman as someone who is willing to risk all for the sake of enhancement of humanity.
In recent times it has come to have a slang definition that describes anything that is of high quality or ability.

Over.
When used in words like "ubermensch", it would mean like "a man's man", or something like that.
