Lulu
Short for Louise
Lulu is an outstanding example of something, usually a problem or difficulty: That last exam was a real lulu.
The word carries a tone of rueful admiration—whatever it describes is remarkable, even if remarkably bad.
Less commonly, lulu appears as a given name or term of endearment.
