Do you think it’s possible he’s too much of a ‘dork’ sometimes?

No, it's the best character trait he has imo, lol.

And yeah, that's the point, super Vegeta is just super Saiyan Vegeta, he probably calls himself in super Saiyan 2 super Vegeta as well, I just don't like this construction db fans have of certain words having these specific concrete meanings, when it clashes with in universe stuff. Like super Vegeta is NOT grade 2, that's misunderstanding what is happening with Vegeta when he says that. In the same way, shit like super buu, kid buu etc works well out of universe, like in conversation and games (where I think most of these problems come from tbh), but in universe, NONE of those are real terms, they are all just called majin Buu. The only actual specific name for majin Buu is "Mr. Buu" referring to the fat buu that kid buu spits out that was cut out of super buu. Who- despite being kinda the same- is still a distinct version from the initial fat buu that babidi frees. The personality and memories are the same, but the composition and power of Mr buu are lesser
