Can anyone help with a question posed to me yesterday... I've been searching all sorts of sites with no luck:
"Who was the original Lulu who spawned the phrase 'It's a Lulu' which is now in the dictionary as slang
for anything or anyone who excels, the best, over the top."

In only got as far as the character created by German playright Frank Wedekind, but no confirmation that the definition was derived from this character. Also, Louise (nicknamed Lulu) Brooks played this character in the silent film "Pandora's Box."

Anyone?
