Uberlicious
adjective; derivation Suffixation
The best, above all, more uber than uber. Many young people today use uber in place of ‘very’ and ‘extremely’ because it is fun and interesting to say. In this case, people attached –licious, itself a neologism, at the end of uber, giving the word an additional connotation (in many instances, sexual.) It can be noticed that the word is sometimes used as a blend of uber+ delicious to mean ‘very delicious.’
Etymology : German uber ‘super’+ -licious ‘adjective-forming suffix.’
