chasing the dragon 

Originally in reference to feeding an opium addiction, this can refer to ploughing through any task past the point of diminishing returns, with disregard to one's own health, sanity or well-being.

We shot 16 hours yesterday, so rather than go to sleep, I had a couple espressos and followed it with a handful of vivarin to work through the night. It's 9:00 AM and by this point, I'm just chasing the dragon.

Chasing the Dragon 

Old school, smoking Opium with a straw or straw like object. Burn Opium then suck up the smoke as it rises and shimmies (Ie: like a Dragons Tail ). Defintion #2 is the retarded "girls gone wild " version.

Some Chinese railroad workers where often "Chasing the Dragon" while not at work

Chasing the Dragonfly 

Chasing The Dragonfly is term coined by Nick Gardner and Alec Nichols for shooting up heroin. The dragonfly is a symbol for heroin. The chasing part comes from of how you chase the liquid down into your veins using a syringe.

Nick: *pulls out syringe full of heroin.*
Alec: What are you doing man?
Nick: Chasing the Dragonfly emaBrosa.
Alec: Dude, that's awesome.
Nick: Yep, we're all just trees man.
Alec: Dude where's the dragonfly running off to man?
Nick: I don't know, but I feel like listening to some Jonny Craig man..

That game that Stan from South Park played in that episode "Guitar Queer-O."

Highly addicting.

Chasing the Dragon!! You chase the dragon while injecting yourself... but you never actually catch the dragon.

chasing the dragon 

Commonly confused with the art of smoking opium, chasing the dragon refers to the senseless quest of a dragon slayer. Similar to Don Quioxte's misguided mission of battling windmills, a dragon slayer's prerogative is to sexually conquer girls with a similar size and attractiveness of a dragon.

Nannini's been chasing the dragon hardcore all year.
