“Super” is not interchangeable with “very”

[GloiredeDijon]

Stop using “super” when you actually mean very or extremely.

Unless you are an American of course, in which case carry on because apart from anything else language is the least of your problems.

Ok

I'm never sure if it's being used ironically.

It is super annoying when people do that.

I don't want to fall foul of the mods here , but having been on this site and seen posts in the last 30 days, I'm thinking the glass house we're throwing stones from must have very tough perspex.

I dunno, I think language just evolves, takes things from other countries etc. I think the use of super is fine, it sounds enthusiastic /positive to me.

Meh. A few decades ago, people would have said "Stop saying 'Super' to mean fantastic or wonderful. They would have insisted on its earlier meaning of 'above'.

Slangy-type expressions are going to evolve relatively fast.

I think super instead of very sounds excellent

My daughter would like to disagree with you

Language evolves, which is super cool. If you don't like it, why aren't you writing in Old English?

I always "hear" it said in either a stereotypical squeaky American voice or one with vocal fry. Hate it...

You ok?

Language evolves, and you’re not the boss of language. You clearly understand that it has a meaning of very in that context so it is interchangeable, even if you don’t like it

I really like this usage and keep meaning to use it more but then forgetting and just saying “very” like it’s 1996 or something.

Sorry, I disagree with you, OP

Is it super or very tough perspex though?

Seems super reasonable to me, etymologically.

I love hearing kids say it. Like I'm super excited 😆

Sorry, I live in Germany, it's the German influence, is that allowed

YANBU and we have an issue with people saying this at work.

It's becoming too cringeworthy - especially on calls with highly professional clients.

(it doesn't bother me at home)

Since super means beyond or above, it could be argued that using super annoying to mean beyond annoying is a correct use of it!

What a nasty xenophobic comment about Americans. Truly, that's revolting.

"Highly professional" = highly pompous

You'd get a more nuanced discussion, OP, if you posted this in Pedants' Corner.
It does sound like something the kids would use. It's not something that really annoys me but I wouldn't use it.
