Some months ago I saw a Russian gomokunarabe player saying in an online chat to his compatriot,
А я подсел на мак.
I cannot recall the context. I can only recall that their chat looked highly colloquial and was hard to understand. They did not appear to talk about the game; the conversation seemed to be about real-life matters. The expression "подсел на мак" looked especially mysterious.
Could you explain me this mysterious expression?

Мак here could have two obvious meanings, the poppy and Macintosh computer. But they also may be using their own slang in which this word means something else.
Подсесть is slang for to get addicted, to develop a habit for something.
So if my guess about the meaning of мак is correct, they are saying that either they do drugs or they use Mac a lot.

I am happy he is just a fast food lover, not a Macintosh computer nerd or a drug addict.
Please, know, that this wording is very-very individual. That means, that when you use this wording, a lot of people will not understand what you mean, just because this wording is too individual. For example, in city where I live (Yekaterinburg) people would say in this case [Я подсел на макдака], but that might cause misunderstanding, because a lot of people in Russia think that [МакДак] means Scroodge McDuck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrooge_McDuck. Summary: cute wording is great, but few people will understand it.

Most probably this means "Mac (the Apple's brand of computers) has really started to grow on me", or, more literally, "I've become addicted to Macs".
Мак also means "poppy", so technically this could also mean "I've become addicted to opium poppy", but this is less likely.

Most probably this means "Mac (the Apple's brand of computers) has really started to grow on me", or, more literally, "I've become addicted to Macs".
Мак also means "poppy", so technically this could also mean "I've become addicted to opium poppy", but this is less likely.
