A word that shocked many when Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese decided to use it has made it into a dictionary.

The term “delulu,” which is a playful take on being delusional and means believing things that are not real or true by choice, has now been added to the Cambridge Dictionary.

The abbreviation “tradwife,” short for traditional wife, refers to a married woman—often one who shares her life on social media—who focuses on home-making activities such as cooking and cleaning, and takes care of her children. This reflects a rising yet controversial trend on platforms like Instagram and TikTok that celebrates traditional gender roles.

“Internet culture is changing the English language,” Cambridge Dictionary Lexical Programme Manager Colin McIntosh said.

It’s not common to witness terms like “skibidi” and “delulu” earning spots in the English dictionary, but now both are included in the Cambridge Dictionary.

“We only incorporate words that we believe will endure. Internet culture is reshaping the English language, and it’s intriguing to watch this evolution and document it in the Dictionary,” stated the editors.

The term “inspo,” which is a shorthand for inspiration, describes something, especially online content, that sparks ideas or motivates one to take action, is also featured in the dictionary.

Lewk, a play on the word look, meaning a particular style, fashion, or outfit, especially one that is unusual and impressive is also listed

It was also made popular by reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race.
