Careful Benny. People might start picking on your English

It's not the question if it's written right or wrong. In my eyes the little word "über" was used in a negative way. Why don't call it over-aggressive calyptratus ?

@goggles: I won't have any problems when sb wants to help me improving my English, I know it's not so good

You know I'm just playin Benny.
In 91 or 92 I stayed with some friends family just outside Hamburg. His mother loved the fact that she could practice English while I was there. The guys I was visiting kept trying to teach me German and let me tell you your English is way better than my German.
Sorry for the thread hijack.

Yes Benny, Uber =s Massive amount.

I have a nice mix, My male veiled and my female Melleri want to eat my face. The veiled actually bit me last time I handled him. It was to move him to his larger cage. I saw how the "distract him with one hand wile picking him up with the other" wasn't going to work. So I instinctively got out the welding gloves. And damned if he didn't chomp down on them. And it wasn't just a bite and release. He actually bit down and started thrashing his head from side to side. My female Melleri is a biter too.

Now my male Melleri, I won't say he enjoys being handled, after a few minutes he closes his eyes. But surprisingly enough, he never exhibits any stress coloration (black spots), or does he attempt to try to get away from me when I go to get him. He's just an extremely mellow cham. My male panther is an odd one. He def doesn't enjoy being out of his cage, but isn't mean "defensive" about it at all. I can't even get him to flair up at a mirror. But he is pretty calm when out as long as I take him away from his cage (cage out of site) Def odd...if I don't he will constantly try to get back to his cage.

Über or ueber comes from the German language. It is a cognate of both Latin super and Greek ὑπέρ (hyper), as well as English over and above. It is also sometimes used as a hyphenated prefix in informal English, usually for emphasis.

Ubermensch

Nietzsche's concept for "an over man" who overcomes the herd perspective and is capable of creating a new perspective without dogmatically forcing his perspective on others.

Usage
An English expression like "über-cool" sounds rather awkward to the ears of a German, although it is commonly used in Switzerland. They would rather use "obercool", where "ober" means "upper", "higher" or "superior". For example the German word for "first lieutenant" is "Oberleutnant" (as opposed to just "Leutnant" for "second lieutenant").
