Uber
05.18.05 (8:48 am) [edit]
I've noted lately that the world "uber" is enjoying some popularity around the Web. What's up with that? I guess every five years or so Amricans light on a German word we really, really like. The last word that I recall generating this much interest was "schadenfreude." That made much more sense to me than uber. Schadenfreude describes something that we don't have a one-word version for in English.

like zeitgeist? i'm a little tired of uber. it seems you are as well. the only german i routinely employ is the "hamburg" in hamburger.
