Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. 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. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Disco biscuit is a classic piece of drug slang with a dual identity. Originally it referred to Quaaludes — the sedative-hypnotic party pills that defined 1970s nightlife excess. Later, as the rave era hit, the term migrated to MDMA (ecstasy) tablets, which became the disco biscuit of a new generation dancing through the night. The name brilliantly captures the vibe: something small and round that you consume in a nightlife setting and that completely changes the experience. It's one of those slang terms that tells the whole story of late 20th-century club culture in two words.
