About

The word "瘾君子" is formed by directly combining the character "瘾", meaning addiction, with the compound "君子", meaning gentleman, to create an ironic term where "君子" is used sarcastically to refer to a person suffering from addiction, typically to drugs, thus euphemistically labeling an addict.
