Delululemoniminal
Inflections plural Delululemoniminals
A self-deluding state entered by purchasing Lululemon apparel in the mistaken belief that it will look flattering, when in fact it does not; the resulting condition of misplaced sartorial confidence.
By extension, the social fallout of this state: the expectation of making friends through the wardrobe, followed instead by being repeatedly shunned and rendered unable to socialize.
“You thought the outfit would help you make all these friends, but instead you just get shunned all the time.”
— Professor Sendy
The terminal phase of the condition, in which the sufferer, frustrated and friendless, retreats to loitering in liminal, threshold-like spaces — characteristically second-story decorative balconies — for the entire day.
“So you've resorted to hanging out on second-story decorative balconies all day, thanks to your Delululemoniminal wardrobe.”
— Professor Sendy
“He went out and bought Lululemon delusionally thinking it was going to look good on him, but it didn't look good at all — pure Delululemoniminal.”
— Professor Sendy
Of a person, garment, or wardrobe: characterized by or marked by this state; deludedly outfitted in Lululemon and consequently isolated.
“Thanks to your Delululemoniminal wardrobe, you're up on the balcony again.”
— Professor Sendy

Word History
The Combo
delulu lemon liminal Delululemoniminal
lend of delulu (clipped, reduplicated internet form of delusional) + Lululemon (proprietary name of the athletic-apparel brand) + liminal (Latin līmen, līmin- "threshold"; denoting an in-between, transitional space). The overlapping syllables of Lululemon and liminal are telescoped so that a single -minal sequence serves both roots, yielding Delulu·lemon·iminal. The liminal element is reinforced by the term's signature imagery of loitering on transitional, threshold-like architecture such as decorative balconies.
