Why pair this luxury property with a term that is associated with something so negative? I really don't get it. It's the same as saying something is "to die for", why bring up negative terms if it's supposed to be a good thing?
Using only positive words is really, really square. Only very simple people tend to do so.
It's much more confident, interesting and intelligent, to mix opposing aspects.
"Amanjunkie" means someone, who needs his yearly dose of Amanresort-stays like a heroin-junkie needs his daily dose of heroin. That has some truth - and, most important, self irony (which is the best sign of somebody being clear with himself):
So I am very proud and happy to call myself and fellow Aman-Fans (sounds way less cool...) Amanjunkies!
