spicy means: Algospeak for "explicit" or "NSFW." A spicy account, spicy content, etc.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
