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.

  2. Context, huh? How about:

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