shagadelic

Swinging sixties appeal

Shagadelic is slang for sexually attractive or groovy, coined by the Austin Powers films of the late 1990s.

The word blends *shag* (British slang for sex) with *psychedelic*, evoking the campy 1960s spy aesthetic of those comedies: Yeah, baby, she's shagadelic!

Outside Austin Powers references, the word sounds deliberately retro and ironic.
