Skibidi and Delulu Have Been Added to the Cambridge Dictionary

What the helly

If you were wondering what kind of mark this generation is going to make on the world, this year’s Cambridge Dictionary word entries might give you a bit of a hint.

Phrases like “skibidi”, “delulu” and “tradwife” have all been added to the Cambridge Dictionary.

So how has the dictionary even defined these words?

Delulu has been defined as an adjective, slang for delusional to believe “things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to”.

As an example, the dictionary provided this example:

You're at a concert right at the back and you think an idol made eye contact with you... people may call you delulu.

Earlier this year even Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the term and said the Coalition was “delulu with no solulu”. For any millennials reading this it means that the Coalition was delusional and had no solutions.

The word skibidi, made famous from the iconic (or unhinged) skibidi toilet has been defined as “a word that can have different meanings such as "cool" or "bad", or can be used with no real meaning as a joke.”

Aka what the skibidi are you doing?

The word tradwife (made famous by creators such as Nara Smith and Ballerina Farm) has been defined as “a married woman, especially one who posts on social media, who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, etc. and has children that she takes care of. Tradwife is short for traditional wife.”
