2023 April 5, Matthew Fogel, 20:25 from the start, in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, spoken by Luigi (Charlie Day):This is a joking phrase. It means someone lost somehow to a person named Luigi. It is similar to saying "You just got destroyed" when someone loses in a game. They are saying "got a-Luigi'd" to mimic the stereotype of an Italian accent. The context is important. They are referencing the Mario series of video games by using the Italian accent. They may be joking about the character Luigi beating someone in a game. However, there is a man named Luigi Mangione who is accused of murdering an American CEO. Some people dislike this CEO, so joking about his death has become popular. The speaker may be joking (in an insensitive way) about someone being killed because they deserved it.
