crackhead
Hooked on rock
A crackhead is a person addicted to crack cocaine.
The term is derogatory, emphasizing the degradation associated with addiction: Some crackhead broke into my car.
It extends loosely to describe anyone acting erratically or making bizarre decisions: What kind of crackhead thought this was a good idea?
