Term with literal meaning of above in German. Brought to the mainstream in the early 80's by hardcore American punk band, the Dead Kennedys when using the term in the anti-Californian government song California Uber Alles, which is a take off the German motto of Deustchland Uber Alles, which translates to Germany above all.
Usage: The uber alles in Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles is probably better translated as first and foremost rather than words implying a boastful desire for conquest. But the words, even here, have always been hard for other nations to swallow.
