Shagaholic is British slang for a person with an obsessive or compulsive interest in sex — someone notionally 'addicted' to having sex. The '-aholic' suffix (from 'alcoholic') is productively applied in English to form mock-addiction compounds ('workaholic,' 'chocoholic'). Shagaholic is informal, sexually explicit in register, and typically used either self-deprecatingly or as a slightly teasing label. It treats sexual enthusiasm as an addiction with the same exaggerated mock-diagnostic approach as all '-aholic' compounds.

(slang, vulgar) A person who is obsessed with the penis as a sexual organ.
- foodaholic65%
A self-explanatory and enthusiastic label for someone who is completely obsessed with food — eating it, photographing it, talking about it, and seeking it out. It overlaps with 'foodie' but adds a comic admission of compulsion, as if the person cannot help themselves. Foodaholics make the best restaurant companions, the worst dieters, and the most passionate cooks. The term is warm and playful rather than clinical, worn as a badge of honour by people who simply love to eat well.
