when me and my boyfriend make meals we have a tradition of sending each other unappetising off-centre photographs of them in poor lighting. we call this "wikipedia food".
Origin: , as Wikipedia—which requires images to be uploaded under a free (non-copyrighted) license—is known for having poor quality photographs of food. Coined before 30 May 2025 by Tumblr user @j4gm (see quotations). Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
