How it's used
While 氯胺酮 is the formal medical term, it is rarely used in casual conversation. Most people refer to the substance as K仔, which is the standard term used in both social and news contexts to describe its illicit use. Using the formal name in a casual setting can sound overly clinical or like a lecture.
Examples
