Who first spotted the overuse of the word 'super'?

[StealthPolarBear]

I read it on a thread a few weeks ago and didn't really understand what the poster meant. Now it's on every thread.
Super happy
super fun
super easy
Is this a new thing?

This thread is super bumped

'Super yummy' makes me want to peel my own feet & dance in lemon juice.

I called someone's baby super cute on the make-up thread so it's probably my fault. But she was cuter than average with her HD brows.

Ah so it's all your fault? :o so out of curiosity when did you start saying super rather than another word such as very, extremely or highly?

Glossing over the baby with the hd brows

I believe super will soon be superseded by the word uber. Über cool. Uber fun. Uber tasty.

Bugger, I have also been known to use uber. This is not a new thing. I get quite enthusiastic about things. Sometimes usually it is when I have had wine or gin. I don't want to shoulder the blame for the whole super/uber trend on my own though...

I called Next customer services the other day. Their recorded message informed me that they were "super busy" and would answer my call as soon as they could...bleurgh!

I have been saying "super" for ages, but I have a Resting Sarcasm Tone like a vocal Resting Bitch Face, so no one ever believes me

;)

It's from pinterest I think. Super cute- super fun - super healthy, they are all super pinworthy

Everything on the last series of Australian Masterchef was "super tasty" or "super delicious", it was super dooper annoying by the end of the show.

I think super is more recent than uber.

On a similar note, all good-looking women are now "stunning".

In my teenage years (90s) people were either stunning or minging. Most effective if said in a Welsh accent. Lush was also used to describe pretty much anything (apart from actual greenery).

I thought everything was described as "stylish" these days.

Did anyone listen to the radio 2 confession
she super rolled her eyes because she was super sulky.
Surely these people didn't speak this way two years ago? What changed?
