Usually niche food of acquired taste & often questionable origin enjoyed by only a small amount of people. It can also be a tasty food with a sky-high price tag.
While Wikipedia quotes it as being "a food item that is considered highly desirable in certain cultures," what they really mean is that it's panned by most of the population, but more people in that country will eat it than anywhere else.
A delicacy can range from poor people food (like the natto parents will force their children to eat), to tiny portions of overhyped rich people food (like french truffles).
Other delicacies are used purely for novelty & entertainment value outside their country of origin, such as eating a can of Surströmming, Balut, Pidon, or drinking Birds Nest Soup for a web review series about gross foods.

Aileen sent me a can of Haggis; a delicacy of Scotland. I was reluctant to eat it because it contained offal & because canned versions are never better than fresh. She reminded me what goes into sausages. I tried it & was relieved that it tasted like corned beef hash.

Get the Delicacymug. Definition 1: See post by JohnWikck
Definition 2: A derogatory term for anything from memes & old Youtube Poops to vintage stand-up comedy, & classic British sitcoms, used by both "woke" youth & out-of-touch seniors who still laugh at fart jokes & think Minions was a good movie. Basically, any intentionally offensive & mean spirited humor they can't understand or take too seriously, as well as reference-based humor they are out of the loop on.

Every day both the Old Media has a new hot take on "edgy humor" while the SJWs have a new petition trying to ban it.

Get the Edgy Humormug. A meme that has become dank; dank being a descriptor for something that is moldy, dark, cold, wet, & old, like an abandoned termite eaten building after a flood.
I can't believe people still won't let this meme die. It's been dank for half a decade.
Shouldn't have added my brother as a friend; he keeps spamming his page with dank memes & top 10 lists.

3)A person who turns a comments section into a heated discussion that has nothing to do with the topic.
4)Hacking as a prank, sometimes referred to as "4chaning" or "Pulling a 4Chan."

A troll (company) sets up a bridge (claims copyrights over a word) & demands a toll to cross the bridge (wants payment for anyone using that word in one of their projects) or it will eat (sue) you.
1)EDGE attempting to sue any developer using "Edge" in the name of their game is a very well-known act of Repeat Trolling.
2)Bethesda Softworks's attempt to sue Mojang over their planned use of "Scrolls" in an upcoming game title.

Get the Juicingmug. A word to skirt around 2 very different slurs, one being racist that every other definition in UD will explain, & the other being "Retard," because it starts with an R & "Tard" is also a slur.
There has been no study on the divide between the use; Generational, regional, financial, or racial, outside of the fact that the use for r3t@rd is very common outside of the USA but still used in the states. Both groups up until 2023 seem to have been completely unaware of the alternative use for the term, due to cultural or social differences & a lack of communication between cliques.

It wasn't until the Linus Tech Tips podcast that people learned there were two uses for the Hard R, & neither of them were good.

Get the Hard Rmug. Fandom of anything comes in two flavors; hardcore & casual.
Casual fans enjoy the show or game or book, but usually not enough to involve themselves in debates, fanart, fanfiction, & wikis. The ones that do work off limited memory of the subject.
Hardcore fans come in two flavors; purist & degenerate.
Purist fans insist that characters in fanfiction be completely in character & that the story has continuity nods. Degenerate fans change the personalities of characters to suit their needs, especially if the plot revolves around their Mary-Sue character.
Purist fans' OCs will not be romantically involved with canon characters & will be appropriate for the setting. Degenerate fans' OCs will look & feel very out-of-place with their surroundings, be deeply involved with canon characters, dress very differently than everyone else, & have a large number of special abilities & talents.
Purists purge any speculations that cannot be proved with solid evidence from Wiki pages. Degenerates create the speculations & often continue to stick with them even after the concepts have been steamrolled by new continuity. They also slash characters who canonically are not into eachother.
Purist fanart may or may not try to mimic the look of the original, but at least keeps it clean. Degenerate fanart includes humanizing animals, animalizing humans, breast inflation, porn, bestiality, pedophilia, weight gain, gratuitous nudity, & gender swapping.

1)The more unsavory fans of Adventure Time spend all their thoughts on potential pairings while the nerdier ones keep their eyes open for Mario & Zelda references.
2)Casual fans of Peanuts fancy Marcie & Peppermint Patty as lesbians, despite their established shared crush on Charlie Brown & the fact that they were only 8 years old. Is it wishful thinking or could they just not be assed to read the comics the TV series was based on?
3)Many believe that large adult male fanbase for Friendship is Magic to be creepy, but it is actually the 12-18 year old male fans who make the bulk of the fanart you can never unsee.
