I see nothing worng with it. However, I would find it counterintuitive - Iff malnitcu had not previously been defined, I would guess its meaning at "that darn needer!" or some such. But, giving it a different definition is perfectly fine, and 'addict' seems to fit. >It's not an incorrect use. Double negative! Breee! Breee! Breee!
