Delicious
Not for People
Reserve 'delicious' for food and drink, not for describing people, to avoid awkwardness.

The spaghetti is delicious, not 'He is delicious.'
Express Satisfaction
Use 'delicious' to show you're really pleased with the taste of something.

This homemade lemonade is delicious!
Positive Intensity
'Delicious' suggests a strong positive reaction, more than just 'good' or 'nice'.

The soup wasn't just good, it was delicious.
