optimal

Used when to describe something you are referring to without actually letting the adjective you want to use be known. Means simply, a good thing or a bad thing. Used in many ways. It takes skill.

"Dude, did you see that chicks hair? NOT OPTIMAL." or
"OMG, did you see that hot guy just walk by? OPTIMAL."

1) someone just stepped in dog shit. NOT OPTIMAL
2) i just found the perfect dress. OPTIMAL

Optimism

"Optimism is the opium of the masses.
Pessimism is the pesticide of society." - Ken Muslimvoic

I guess he meant that hope gives the masses fake illusions in the way things are.. and negative pessimism and mistrust in society weeds out "social agitators" and keeps them from doing anything.

Optimism

Shaving your asshole before a first date.

Maybe I suffer from optimism, but I like my chances of getting some anilingus tonight, so I am going to shave my asshole.

Optimism

The serial replacement of reason with unsubstantiated and dangerous levels of hope.

You're so full of optimism! Your dismissal of the very real threats our planet faces at the moment is dangerous for society.
