I always thought it could be pretty much anything that might squick someone - incest, rape, underage, totally consensual scatplay, whatever. You've already also tagged for whatever the squicky thing, so "dead dove do not eat" sends the message that the person already read the tags and decided to click anyway, so any feelings of uncomfyness they might have are totally on them. You, the writer, have already done the responsible thing and tagged. Basically, read at own risk and if they get ooged out, it's their responsibility, not yours.

In the show it comes from, a character finds bag labeled "Dead dove, do not eat," opens it out of curiosity (although he was already told the answer), and finds, lo and behold, a dead dove that should not be eaten. He looks at the camera and says "I don't know what I expected."

If you, the theoretical reader, are grossed out by scatplay, you open a fic tagged scatplay, you read and get grossed out, well, I don't know what you expected.

Same applies to any sort of potentially upsetting or unsettling content. There's no rule about what type of content it is.

DA
I used it on one fic I wrote with this idea in mind. Rape/dubious consent so I added DD to be like, "Seriously, do not read if you don't like dubious consent".

This is what I always thought it was too? Something that contains squicky content and is being upfront about that fact so that people who don't want to see it can avoid it. IME usually the summary tells you right off the bat that this particular fic is going to have some questionable stuff so if you click on it anyway, you know damn well what you're getting into.
