    Delulu, an abbreviation of delusional, is less controversial, but has
    become associated with a post-truth world where personal beliefs are
    more important than reality. Its dictionary entry defines it as
    "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose
    to".

    Delulu emerged more than 10 years ago as an insult directed at
    obsessive K-pop followers fans to question their belief that they would
    date their idols. The term "delulu is the solulu" for manifesting your
    wishes has been viewed billions of times on TikTok. The phrase "delulu
    with no solulu" was used earlier this year by Australia's prime
    minister, Anthony Albanese, to attack his opponents in parliament.
