How it's used

Carries a slightly critical or teasing tone, often used by parents or friends to describe someone who prioritizes leisure over responsibilities. It implies a lack of focus on work or study rather than just being energetic. While it can be used affectionately, it usually suggests that the person needs to grow up or settle down.

Examples

Common phrases

obsessed with partying and womanizing

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 貪玩, which is a more neutral or even positive way to describe someone who is playful or curious. 爛玩 is stronger and carries a negative connotation of being irresponsible or excessive in one's pursuit of fun.
