A hybrid between the two words Caffeine and Fiend (as in crack fiend). Your typical Caffiend is characterized by one or more of these behaviors.
1. They will get extremely irritable if denied their daily dose of coffee, tea, soda, or any other products that contain caffeine.
2. In addition to the above behavior, some caffiends may find themselves spending large amounts of their income on all manner of energy drinks, no doz, and other products with higher concentrations of their favorite drug, in an attempt to find more energy and vigor, as their tolerance for caffeinated beverages has by this time almost certainly rendered all but the most powerful sources useless in their never-ending thirst for the next best pick me up.
