superduper

Beyond merely great

Superduper is an emphatic, playful intensifier meaning exceptionally good, impressive, or excellent.

It's a reduplication of super that adds childlike enthusiasm or deliberate exaggeration, often used affectionately or ironically by adults: We had a superduper time at the fair.

The word appears in casual speech and writing, sometimes hyphenated as super-duper, and carries a lighthearted tone that prevents it from sounding pretentious.
