To describe a girl as very attractive you could say "she's hot". But you can always go one better! So what if she's hotter than "hot"? She's RADIOACTIVE. :D I've also heard of radioactive metals described casually as "that thing's hot!" Not in the attractive sense, though.

Radioactive, literally, is when a chemical element decays via alpha particles, etc. But here radioactive is used figuratively: chick = young woman hot = attractive nuclear = nuclear reaction = very hot = extremely attractive radioactive = here, extremely attractive, nuclear So the speaker is saying: she's out of your league. At least that is the way I would interpret it - others might disagree with me... :-) Radioactive is not a common term for describing people at all, at least where I live. It could also mean crazy or damaging, since handling radioactive uranium / plutonium / etc. could sicken or kill you. But here I would interpret it as just meaning very, very attractive.

Now it means the girl is "hot", or sexy, looking for a man and eager to find an equally hot new boyfriend. In the future, please use this format: "radioactive" (that is, the word is in: " Simple is excellent; the more simple, the more powerful.
