Super-Saharan Africa

I'm not sure it's slang, but I'm enjoying it...

Aside from a sliver of Tunisia, there doesn't seem to be much Africa above the Sahara.

Or - is the "super" in "super-Saharan Africa" a super of extent rather than location? I think we'd all appreciate you using it in context.

Context, huh? How about:

"Super-Saharan Africa also obviously includes parts of Morocco, Libya, Algeria, and Egypt."
