Some slangs by Addict and Addicted to I don't know but the term Addict sounds uncommon for me. Ex: I like to play a lot game so it makes me a "game addicted"? I spend a lot time playing chess so am I a "chess addicted"? I'm looking for some other expressions to replace: "addicted to something" Any suggestions? Regards.

A few grammar problems, first: 1. 'Slang' is an uncountable/abstract noun. You can't say 'slangs'. The word doesn't exist. You could say 'slang expressions' if you want. However, none of these words are really slang at all. 'Addicted' is a neutral word, and I've given you some more informal terms below. 2. 'Addicted' is the past participle of a verb, used as an adjective in the phrase 'to be addicted to something'. It is not a noun, so it is ungrammatical to say 'I am a .... addicted'. You can say 'I am addicted to games' or 'I am a game addict'. Note that in the first sentence, 'games' is plural, because you are speaking about games in general. In the second sentence, 'game' is singular because it is part of a compound noun 'a game addict'. If you want some more colloquial expressions, also referring to drug addiction, you could say: 'I'm completely hooked on games.' or 'I'm a real game junkie.' I hope that helps.

You could be "totally consumed by gaming" if you don't want to use "addicted".
