Delulu
Significado: Delusional — having unrealistic beliefs or expectations, especially about relationships or personal abilities.
Delulu is a playful shortening of 'delusional' popularized on TikTok. It's often used about having a crush on a celebrity ('I'm delulu but he's definitely my soulmate') or overestimating one's chances. The phrase 'delulu is the solulu' (delusional is the solution) became a popular mantra, suggesting that blind optimism can be a positive force.
