'super' vs 'superb'

Could you tell me which one between 'super' and 'superb' is a right answer to the question, "How are you today?"
  

Top answer

Superb is a flattering word applied by one person about another’s performance. Super is used to indicate ‘superlative’ or best. Apart from ‘Superman’ and ‘Superintendent’, I don’t hear ‘super’ applied much to people or how they feel.
