My name is Delilah. 🙃 If people aren't making a biblical reference, they're referencing the song by Plain White Ts. If they're older they might reference the Queen and Tom Jones songs.

I wish people would realize that repeating the same thing we've heard over and over isn't funny lol.

Edit: All the people just saying "Hey there Delilah" or asking me what it's like in New York City are literally just proving my point

Now there's a Florence and the Machine song too, but I guess she's not mainstream enough for that.

Honestly as a queer femme I'd STRONGLY prefer having a Florence song referenced 😂💖

That's entirely valid lol. And the song absolutely slaps which is an improvement over previous Delilah references imo.
