English is ever so surely becoming the discombobulated “language” that Alex and his droogs spoke in A Clockwork Orange.

“Delulu” is type of portmanteau word, composed of and evoking “delusional” and “lulu.” It is clever and useful word, as it implies belief in a real lulu (or whopper) of a delusion. I like it.

Labelling Every Whiner Karen?
Loud Encounters With Kindergarteners?
Lunching Everywhere With Kikkoman’s?

This is how I know I’m getting old. The last time I was caught up on new cultural terms was Valley Girl speak.

Skibidi Toilet is not only the stupidest thing I have ever seen, that I think it goes beyond stupid to actually be a black hole that sucks away the intelligence minute-by-minute of anyone watching it...
