How it's used
Refers specifically to the lingering mood or activities that follow a main event. It is almost exclusively used in the context of 餘興節目 to describe secondary activities like karaoke, board games, or late-night drinks that keep the social momentum going after a formal gathering ends.
Examples
After dinner, their post-meal entertainment was going to karaoke.
Does everyone still have the mood to go for another drink?
