super excited
This phrase is used on an almost daily basis by my colleagues at work. I’ve heard British ex-pats, now also US citizens, use it. Apparently they are all super excited every day about something. Possibly they are not drinking sufficient quantities of Tea to mellow their super excitedness. Even though super- is a legitimate prefix I wince whenever I hear the phrase super excited. Super wincing, I need more tea.

If nearly everything *is* super, then by definition, it can’t actually *be* super. It’s like saying something is very rare when its being mass produced.
Silly.
Have some more tea.
I’m guilty. I say “super” ALL THE TIME. I blame my California upbringing. See also: like, totally, basically.
