Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. Note the regional or dialect label (UK) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself.

Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

An anorak god is the undisputed master of niche knowledge — someone so thoroughly, completely immersed in their specialist subject that lesser anoraks look to them with reverence. This isn't casual enthusiasm or light hobbyism; this is decades of accumulated minutiae, a mental database that puts Wikipedia to shame, and an ability to answer questions that nobody even knew to ask. On forums, in enthusiast circles, and in that one weird club that meets in a community centre, the anorak god is both authority and legend. The title is earned through sheer, joyful, slightly unnerving depth of knowledge.
