Uber local?
What I miss in the English language I learn from CNBC. Just a few minutes ago, the speaker, one of the young regulars on the CNBC’s roster, said--more or less--that the subject at hand is uber local and there is more life to US than on this side (meaning the eastern side) of the Mississippi. That makes it uber local, I guess. Uber local, meaning national, more than local, or something like that.

I know English has kinship with German, but where did this uber come from in the later years? This practice makes me ask, “Warum?”

Uber local, huh…

Well, live and learn.
