Definition
过瘾 (guò yǐn) means 'immensely satisfying' — specifically when an experience fully satisfies a craving, like eating a long-missed dish or watching a thrilling game. It's stronger and more focused on craving-fulfillment than 爽 (shuǎng), which describes a generally refreshing or enjoyable experience. Unlike the formal idiom 称心如意 (perfectly satisfactory), 过瘾 is emotional and colloquial.
