Definition
色鬼 literally means 'lust ghost' — it uses the suffix 鬼 (guǐ) to label a person obsessed with something, like 酒鬼 (drunkard) or 烟鬼 (heavy smoker). It's a colloquial, derogatory term for someone with an excessive or creepy interest in sex. Use it carefully; it's a strong insult in conversation.
