The definition varies between communities/fandoms, but generally a demi-human is considered to be a human sub-species with foreign physical features, heightened senses, special abilities, nonstandard colors and/or a nonstandard lifespan. They are mostly human in appearance and exhibit an intelligence similar or equal to humans.
Demi-human is a general term that includes fantastical species such as elves, giants, angels, dwarfs, merfolk, and even animal-related variants like wolf-, fox- or cat-folk (the list goes on).
There are countless shows, games and anime featuring demi-humans, a few examples would be Lord of the Rings (show), The Elder Scrolls (video game) and Goblin Slayer (anime).
Demi-humans are not equal to anthropomorphic animals despite some having animal features, and most furries agree that demi-humans are not part of their fandom.

Example:
Human traveler: This is the most diverse town I have seen so far... I have never seen more demi-humans in one place. And I see that you finally brought your dwarf friend with you.
Dwarf: He is a halfling, our species get confused a lot, but yes you can refer to us both as demi-humans.

Get the Perfection In Human Formmug. At the end of the day, both groups of you are the human race, the only race there is, and the only race that should ever get called a race, but realistically they're not your people and you're not theirs. That's where the hard part of getting along comes in, especially when you're both right about something (or someone). Or when you're both wrong about something (or someone).

Someone who is smart and knows generally about anything, but ends up giving either false or too much information.
Example A
Me: Bob, do you know about the Boston Red Sox?
Bob: The Boston Red Sox is an American professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1901. Their uniform consists of a standard baseball cap and shirt, and specifically red socks, hence the name of the team "Boston Red Sox". The Boston Red Sox is currently a member in the Major League Baseball's American League Eastern Division.
Me: K den.
Example B
Me: What's inside a hot pocket anyways?
Bob: Peanut butter, jelly, and two slices of bread.
Me: That's why it tastes like meat, thanks Human Wikipedia!
