I was wondering if the word uber was a Minnesotan thing or if other states used the word too.

a LOT of people use it here in Norcal. A LOT. It pisses me off (no offense .. it's just I'm very pro-nonconformity). I've never used uber, nor do I plan to. Besides, it gets annoying when certain (annoying) people use it ALL the time.

Nobody here uses uber save my friends and myself. It's mostly an online-only word..

hmmm, okay so from what I've taken in... uber is used a lot in some places in California, and also as a online word only... I guess then Minnesotans are weird because that word always comes up in conversations, but not online so much.

hahah yeah it's über .. I'm pretty sure it's German, and I think it means "very" or something. That's the only logical definition I can think of anyway.

Yes, über is a German word meaning 'over' not very. In Mass some ppl use it but only a few people and it's seen as very uncool to use. I never say it unless I'm speaking german. lol
