what is meaning of lulu
I found the meaning of the word in dictionary, it gives me completely different meaning
From macmillan dictionary
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/lulu
someone or something that is very unusual or extreme, often in a silly or unpleasant way
a lulu of a storm
His last girlfriend was a real lulu.
But from another dictionary,
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lulu
Definition of LULU
slang
one that is remarkable or wonderful <a lulu of a performance>
if you compare the meaning from both dictionaries, it gives me completely contracting meaning.
As i am not a native English speaker, I got confused which meaning I have to take. So any one help me ?

Hi
Yes. Lulu has various meanings as dumb guy.
For example: he is a lulu (dumb guy).
2. I made him lulu (made fool)
3. Sometimes people use to scare this word for kids. (Someone cathces cockroach in his/her hand and scare the kids)

I think this is largely an American English expression and probably a bit old fashioned but perhaps some American contributors can shed some light on it.
I would not expect to hear it used in British or Australian English and I think, as your dictionary definitions suggest, can be used in a variety of situations.
