Question

Does anybody else hate the over use of the word super. There's got to be a better way to describe your level of excitement then saying "super excited", don't you think?

Answer 1

How about hyper instead?

Answer 2

I’m super annoyed with people and their sanctimonious ways. Can’t have a civilized discussion without personal tangents and baseless broad generalizations especially on social media.

Answer 3

I DIDN'T GET WHERE I AM TODAY by saying "Super" all the time.
Super, CJ

Answer 4

I've been guilty of using super; uber; mega; savage and the like. I use a lot of jargon that the young people use because I have a couple of teenish grandkids living here that still like to talk to me from time to time. I also have an 18 year old regularly visiting grandchild

Someday soon they will not have time for me and not long after that they will be gone so if my juvenile language offends the people not related to me, I will survive.

Answer 5

Maybe in the region of the UK, that you are in. I don't hear it that often.

Answer 6

I'm super guilty of this

Answer 7

No offence, but people who say "no offence" before expressing any opinion or thought no matter how inoffensive are also annoying.

Answer 8

That is superficial or superseded per haps superfluous.

Answer 9

You reminded me of this

Answer 10

that would be superb

Answer 11

I don't say super. I use "really."

Answer 12

I agree. What really gets me is "totally." I'm totally upset by the word totally. I totally am.

Answer 13

I haven't heard in usage here in Brookline Ma..but then again I don't hang out with teens or 20somethings..

Answer 14

FAR Out is still my go to phrase. Outstanding or WONderful. If I use 'super' it is the sarcastic form.

Answer 15

I never use 'super'.... what irks me is that everything is either a 'system' or a 'solution' or a 'solution system'. like 'whatever is solving all kinds of problems.

Answer 16

...it sounds like 'canned expressions'...or even 'talking points'! Us, creative people, do love original thoughts, but maybe people are too tired to think...sometimes!?

Answer 17

I don’t mind super but don’t like the phrase “ on point”

Answer 18

Don't use super-awesome is what word I use.

Answer 19

It super pisses me off! (Joking aside - yes. It's one of the most infuriating verbal trends of all time.)

Answer 20

oh like totally for sure

Answer 21

Annd awesome knocked it out of the park

Answer 22

"Very" excited. Other than that, just use the word "excited"...there is seldom any reason to guild the Lilly.

Answer 23

I understood that the word was overused by those from the U.S. I didn't realize other countries overused it. There are many ways you can express yourself in ultimate fashion by saying massively, awesomely, extremely, and others. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for you to take the lead in demonstrating to others your adroitness in expressing yourself without overusing one expression or word.

Answer 24

Ecstatic
Enthusiastic
Thrilled
