lulu
Something quite remarkable
Lulu is an outstanding example of its kind, usually something remarkable or impressive: That storm was a real lulu.
The word often carries a note of irony or understatement, describing something memorably extreme—whether good or bad: She came up with a lulu of an excuse.
Informal and somewhat dated.
