“Skibidi” and “Delulu” are added to the Cambridge Dictionary. Read their definition.

“Skibidi” and “delulu” are both added to the Cambridge Dictionary, and if you don’t know what these words mean, congratulations, then you may be an adult with a bill and there are better things to do. Very nice to you.

If not clear, both words are people who spend too much time on the internet (younger, more common). Nevertheless, since the internet is increasingly the IRL world, it may be worth learning the definition of such words. Spending too much time on the internet is what we do on Mashable.

Interestingly, the dictionary basically defines Skibidi as nonsense. It calls Skibidi “a word that can have different meanings, such as ‘cool’ or ‘bad’, or can have no real meaning as a joke.” This is an unconfident version of the internet’s “jawn” that effectively replaces any noun.

We cover the entire Skibidi phenomenon on Mashable. It originated from the ridiculous YouTube series called “Skibidi Toilet” and is popular in Alpha Gen. It all goes back effectively to the cartoon-style head, rotating around the toilet. Now it’s in the Cambridge Dictionary.

But Skibidi is far from the only new word recognized by Cambridge. There is “delulu”, which is defined as delusion, but shortens the word to be stupid and not serious. The dictionary also adds internet words like “Tradwife”, a “traditional” wife and “Broligarcy” who do housework for cameras, which references powerful, often technical people who run into over-influential circles.

Language changes over time and the Internet seems to have only accelerated the process. Our dictionary will follow. It’s very skiing, etc.
