Mariah Carey is a complicated and inventive linguist. Thankfully her official website has a dictionary of "Mariahisms" so we can understand the deeper meaning behind her favourite terms...

YOU LOVE ME:All-purpose, anytime phrase. A greeting, a goodbye, or just something to throw into a pause in the conversation or to interject loudly while someone is speaking. (I can assure you I do not love you)

WHY?:Said in a rhetorical sense as if asking "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?" Meant to be comical. (As comical as your face, Mimi?)

THINGS OF THAT NATURE:A common phrase Mariah uses often meaning "things like that."

STELLAR:A word in place of "great" or "good"

PIP!:A phrase used to describe something really cool for example "Those jeans are very Pip!" (I want to smash your face in!)

ENSEMBLE:Same as "outfit" (e.g. "Do you like the ensemble?") (Erm, have we ever liked your emsemble?)

COLLABO:A slight abbreviation for "collaboration", word usage originated in 1999

BOO:Mariah's phrase for people fond of her. (She can’t use it much!)

BING BONG!:Used to quickly end an argument or conversation while still able to be funny (Ha HA HAAA)

BE GOOD:Two words Mariah ends conversations with.
