In American English, the word "cracker" can refer to a dry, crisp biscuit often eaten with cheese or spreads. It also has a colloquial use as a derogatory term for a poor white person in the Southern United States. Additionally, "cracker" can denote a firework that makes a loud bang or a device used to break open nuts. The context in which it is used usually clarifies its meaning.

It is used as slang, and likely more primarily by American teenagers in conversations with their parents, teachers, and other authority figures--American teenagers are quite articulate. :)
