cracker
Cheese plate staple
A cracker is a thin, crisp baked food—typically unsweetened and eaten with cheese, soup, or spreads.
Crackers also make noise: a firecracker explodes, and a Christmas cracker pops when pulled apart.
A cracker can be someone who cracks things—safes, codes, or computer systems.
In the American South, cracker is a disparaging term for a poor white person, especially from Georgia or Florida, sometimes used self-referentially.
