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!
