Yes babes, it’s not just Twitter slang anymore — “delulu” has officially made its way into the English dictionary.

According to the dictionary big bosses, “we only add words where we think they’ll have staying power.” Translation: internet girls and TikTok warriors are shaping the English language in real time, and honestly, the effect is both hilarious and fascinating.

But wait, there’s gist: “delulu” wasn’t the only addition. We’ve also got “tradwife” (hello soft life wifey aesthetic), “broligarchy” (because bros clearly rule too much), and the most unserious of the bunch — “skibidi,” a word that literally exists to mean… nothing. Yep, the same chaotic “Skibidi Toilet” meme that took over YouTube has now crossed into legit English.

From TikTok audios to fashion micro-trends to literal dictionary entries, internet culture is moving mad and we’re just passengers on the ride. Question is… which of your fave slang do you think is next to get dictionary-level recognition?
