In physics, a gauge theory describes the dynamics of a system by introducing more variables than are actually necessary to describe the system. For a gauge theory, there’s no “right number” of variables, so you’re stuck either being too vague or a bit redundant… Or you’re stuck with a non-local theory, which shivers my timbers.
“Why do Eminem and Sean Combs have like 5 different stage names each?”
“Yo, that’s because MCs operate in a non-Abelian gauge theory!”
“Seriously?”
“For sure. That’s why you don’t want to cross them. They always remember.”

Get the gauge theorymug. Any female at the age of 16 and up under the height of 5'3 has relatively bigger thighs, an automatic dumpy, and possibly bigger breasts than the average other woman.

Get the Behrens Theorymug. The theory that (regarding any upcoming physics test) you either know it or you don't. Not to be confused with the Ridings Postulate, which states that you either know it or you don't regarding ANY test, not simply physics. Applying these ideas often results in failure.
Me - "Dude, I have a physics test tomorrow! Fuck!"
Ridings - "Same. But I'm not studying, according to my theory, the Ridings Theory - in physics, you either know it, or you don't."

Get the The Ridings Theorymug. The scientific and philosophical theory stating that at any point of its' existence- there is at least one tomato either submerged, or floating upon any of the worlds oceans.
Me: "I'd like to introduce you all to Aflo's Theory-"
Scientists: "Oh? What is it?"
Me: "It is a theory stating that at any given moment- there is at lest one tomato in the ocean."
Scientists: "-And what, pray tell, is the purpose of this theory?"
Me, now revealing the backpack of tomatoes I brought to the beach: "Gazpacho."

Get the Aflo's Theorymug. The theory regarding relationships. "Someone doesn't move unless they already have a new house." Meaning that before someone moves on, they need to already have someone else ready.

Get the The House Theorymug. Gyatt = ((circumference of gyatt - circumference of waist) + (circumference of gyatt - circumference of thigh)) x Rate of double take
G = ((Cg-Cw)+(Cg-Ct)) x Rdt
*Subject change pending further proof of gyatt levels
G = ((Cg-Cw)+(Cg-Ct)) x Rdt
*Subject change pending further proof of gyatt levels
"Bro, she's got a Gyatt." "nah, bro, that one is better." "Well, I guess we'll have to plug some measurements into the Theory of Gyatt to determine which ones better."

Get the Theory of Gyattmug. The most misunderstood theory in history.
This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
