Fluffernutter
Fluffernutter means a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, and online it often gets used as a nostalgic, slightly goofy way to signal comfort-food energy.
When people say fluffernutter, they are usually naming the actual sandwich, but the social read is bigger than lunch. It comes off playful, childlike, and very specific - the kind of word you drop in texts, food posts, or jokes when you want to sound cozy, unserious, or weirdly passionate about a sugary comfort snack.
If you say it casually, you sound nostalgic or in on a very American comfort-food reference, not especially cool.
