Uber is a prefixal adjective or adverb


Languages evolve. People have been using it as a verb a lot, so it's become a verb.


So why don't you catch up with the evolution for a moment? Just like language evolved in Silicon Valley to use uber as a verb during the mid 2010s, it has quickly devolved out of it especially as uber the company has become irrelevant.

I dont know anyone using it as a verb. I hear "im calling/ordering/taking an waymo/uber/lyft/taxi" in 2025.


Nonsense. Here, you should be able to convince yourself pretty easily browsing Google Trends.

Even simpler: just Google "uber home" -uberhome and you'll pretty recent examples of people writing about ubering home.
