To be hooked on something

I am a hook, and I am hooked on fishing. Catch me some Fish that doesn't taste like soap.

Some people are hooked on video games like Fortnite, and others are hooked on Coca-Cola. In North America, parents usually get their kids hooked on Ritalin and Prozac to keep them more under-control than the best tamed french poodle around.

When you're thinking of the word hook, the average post-soviet person is thinking of a real hook. A hook maybe to fish with, a hook to climb a mountain. Or use a hook to rappel off of a roof like Sam Fisher in the video game Splinter Cell.

I'm hooked, aren't you....

The word hooked, not Captain Hook, and the word addicted are quite similar, but I think hooked is used as slang as it is used as a metaphor.

I'm hooked on catching Peter Pan

I think in Canada, a lot of people are hooked on opioids. They become a dependent drugs which they will kill, steal and do all kinds of thinks just to get their fix.

In fact, a few years ago, many people died from opioid overdoses.

The next time someone tells you that they're hooked on something, don't take it with a grain of salt. Instead send them to the cuckoo cuckoo house
