(US, slang, ) A person who loves to eat spicy foods.
A bright red chili pepper. Two reads: literal spicy food (recipe posts, restaurant reviews) and slang "spicy" — meaning hot, scandalous, sexy, or NSFW. Common in dating-app bios ("spicy chats only 🌶️"), thirst-trap captions and gossip-content reactions. The slang read dominates among Gen Z; the food read still leads in older / cooking contexts.

An informal slang adjective meaning flavoured or seasoned with chili peppers — having had chili added.
