What is '上头(shàng tóu)' mean in Chinese Slang?
This term literally means "going to the head," like the feeling of being drunk. In internet slang, it’s used to describe something so addictive or exciting that you can’t stop thinking about it or doing it. It’s like saying, "I’m obsessed" or "This is so addictive."
Example: If you binge-watch a TV show all night, you might say, "This show is so 上头, I can’t stop watching."
Fun fact: It’s often used to describe dramas, games, or even food that’s hard to put down.
