This week we are invited to write poetry or prose which explores (or includes) the following words: delulu, lewk, broligarchy.
. . .
This little guy greeted us as we came in or out our hotel in Guatemala. The link below will see him play. Remembering our three words is as hard as teaching them to monkeys.

Three Little Words
A little "list poem" for you today
My list is short, just three little words
Three little words that I never knew
Never knew before, how about you?
My Words for You
Google knows a lot I gave it try
These words are old, K-pop fans abriev
My talk will never use, silly words
Here goes my list, google copied stuff
1. delulu, a slang term, short for "delusional," and is used to describe someone who holds unrealistic, overly optimistic beliefs or fantasies, often with a playful or self-aware tone.
2. lewk, a slang term, a deliberately stylized spelling of "look," that describes a distinctive, carefully curated, and often impressive fashion or personal style.
3. broligarchy, it involves a small group of wealthy men who are not elected but wield significant power over government and society.
Well now you know three more silly words
'Nough to be a starter, mess your brain
May slip away, but no one will cry

I am in complete sympathy with you on this one, Jim! Can't say I warmed to these words, and I certainly won't be incorporating them into my vocabulary. (If that makes me elderly – very well then, I'm elderly.)
ReplyDeleteI had to Google them too but found them quite fun! Jae
ReplyDeletePerhaps lacking in charm, these three words are a sign of the times that I likely won't hear anyone I know using. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it. I refused to even try! I hate these sorts of words! Now I know the words, but can't imagine a scenario where I would use them!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jae who wrote a mighty fine poem ~ going to try my best to get creative with them. Happy weekend to you and Mrs. Jim!
ReplyDeleteWe're too old for these 3 words, maybe not the brolisumthing, but it's good to know. :)
ReplyDeleteGenZ language is absurdly different. They are just abbreviations or a whole new versions of conventional words. I read that these are now being incorporated in dictionaries.
ReplyDeleteOur Prime Minister used delulu in a speech. I was impressed. I thought he was being creative and had just invented it in the moment.
ReplyDeleteThey have already slipped away!
