Definition: The theoretical, consequence-free reunion shag where the ex in question is literally deceased – a grimly specific loophole appealing only to those haunted by unresolved intimacy and grief. Eliminates typical risks like awkward breakfasts or renewed attachment, but introduces new complications like existential dread, grave-visit guilt, or explaining cold spots in your bedroom. The ultimate “no strings attached” scenario, mainly because the other party lacks a pulse and probably can’t critique your performance. Morbid curiosity meets phantom limb syndrome for the heart.
Example: “Would I ghost shag my ex? Yeah, to say goodbye properly… and also because her ghost probably can’t key my car this time.” “Dude, a ghost shag isn’t ‘closure,’ it’s a one-way ticket to needing a paranormal therapist and a regular one.”
