The thinking behind this is similar to the etymology of Assume - an ASS out of U and ME. Although addiction was probably not created this way - we cannot be sure - it sure made me laugh at least.

"Addiction is harmful"
Thief *pointing his gun at the baby*: Quick, hand over the laptop!
Mother: Take my baby!! Please leave me and my laptop alone!

Derek: It's not addiction, I can stop whenever I want

Clive: lol

Tim: You need to stop, you have an addiction.
Nikki: I don't have and addiction, I can quit whenever I want.
Tim: How about now?
Nikki: How about next Tuesday.

I have an addiction to defining random words.

Guy1:Oh my God, I'm so in love with my games. It's obvious that I am addicted.
Guy2: Shut up you pussy, get some self control or I'm kicking you in the nuts and I'll be "addicted" with that cause it's so fun. You're using addiction just so you can go "Oh, I have no control, so I'm just gonna keep doing it, lalala."
