Super annoying

I'm find it super annoying that the word 'super' seems to have slipped into English English as a synonym for 'very' of late.

No - you're not super happy, you're very happy, you utter plum.

'Amazing' is my current pet hate. Everything seems to be amazing ... several times over

I agree, it is something I first noticed when Michael Schumacher grew to prominence. I thought it was just a German thing, but it does seem to have crossed over into common use now.

C.J. made David redundant just prior to his wedding to Pru. David says that being made redundant took away all his self-confidence. David says "Super!" as he gives Reggie the latest results for Perrin Products. He wonders if Tony keeps saying "Great!" all the time. When Reggie says that he reckons he does, David responds with a "Super!". As the champagne arrives, we get two more "Super's" from David. When Reggie visits Sunshine Desserts and sees Tony in C.J.'s office, Tony says "Great!" when he sees Reggie and again when Reggie asks how things are. Indeed, he remarks that "This is success city!". Tony asks if David is still saying "Super!" all the time. When Reggie confirms that he does, Tony responds with "Great!".

It's something I first noticed Martin Brundle doing on commentry, people were super fast through the first section or did a super quick pit stop.
I've got no problem with it to be fair, but then again I'm one of those people who say awesome and can I get a frappuccino so I'm probably in the minority on here.
