Lectrickery

A humorous or skeptical term for electricity or electrical systems, especially when they seem confusing, unreliable, or mysteriously malfunctioning. A blend of “lecrick” (a colloquial form of electricity) and “trickery.”

“Old shed’s wired up funny, flip the switch in the kitchen and the ute charger kicks in. Good ol' lectrickery for ya.”
