      I’m just wondering is “delulu” slang for “delusional”? Like was the real word that hard to spell?

        I think it’s short for “the lulu” which is a cutesy name for the Lusitania, meaning they feel like they have been sunk.

        Sometimes words evolved for the spelling, sometimes for the sounds.

        I think in this case it was for the fun sound, especially given it arose through tiktok communities.

        It’s a cutesy way of spelling it, popularized on social media and also by content creators

      I figured its unrealistic body standards and lifestyles? All the pictured people (mostly women) are barbie-doll skinny and tall.

      I had to look up delulu, and it seems to be a reaction to that very thing:

      Delulu is an internet slang term used to describe the belief that one can influence one’s own destiny through sheer willpower. Derived from the English-language word delusional, the term has its origins in K-pop communities where the term delulu is used to refer to individuals who were in a parasocial relationship with celebrities and had hopes of meeting them someday. The term has subsequently been adopted by Generation Z and Generation Alpha, popularized by viral TikTok trends such as the catchphrase “delulu is the solulu”, implying that self-confidence is key to achieving one’s dreams, however far-fetched. Solulu and trululu are slang terms for “solution” and “truth” respectively, and they are modeled after delulu.

        Ah thx. I remember Desilu Productions and wondered if Delulu was similar. I didn’t recognize most of the TV shows.

    Okay but Mean Girls was supposed to be ridiculous and unrealistic. They hired a 25-yr-old Rachel McAdams to play a high school junior for a reason lol
