lulu (n.)
"remarkable person or thing," 1886 (first attested in a baseball article from New Orleans, U.S.), of uncertain origin; some suggest a connection to earlier looly "beautiful girl," of unknown origin. But the reference more likely is to Lulu Hurst (1869-1950), the "Georgia Wonder," who was a popular attraction 1883-85 demonstrating her supposed mysterious "force" that allowed her to effortlessly move, with just a light touch, umbrellas and canes held tight by others. She barnstormed the U.S. and, at 15, was, briefly, one of the most famous women in the land. The skeptics soon explained her trick and burst the bubble, but not before her name was used as a word:
Such [musically uneducated persons] start from the avowed or unavowed supposition that the pianist or violinist's art necessitates no higher qualities than does plate-spinning, dancing, or the feats of a Lulu. ["The Hero as Virtuoso," in "London Society magazine," 1883]
1. Lulu was said to be of very superior intelligence.

2. No, it isn't, Lulu. It's three o'clock. We're early.

3. Lulu: I think we need to call it quits.
露露: 我想我们分手吧.
4. Jerry : I love your little Lulu dolls. How much for a batch of 6,000?
我喜欢你的小露露娃娃. 一批6,000个多少钱?
5. Talking about being pretty, our company's new secretary is indeed a lulu.
要说漂亮, 我们公司新来的秘书可算是个相貌出众的女孩子了.
