I thought that myself, but then a friend reminded me that the multitudes
of people who saw the first Austin Powers film will now know the meaning
of "shag," and so the title's meaning will not be so hidden.

I presume it was inspired by the Roger Moore Bond movie, _The Spy Who
Loved Me_, but with an Austin Powers ring to it. :-)

Cheers,

Paul.
