frenchmans cumsock 

A refuted, sub-optimal sideline in the Bulgarian Somersault chess opening, loses by force in approximately 37 moves. It's a humorous generic name for a made up, obscure chess opening.

the main thing that puts me off of playing chess is that there is 2000 years of gameplay that hundreds of people with higher IQs than me have spent thousands of hours studying the history of, so much so that when i put the pawn forward they say “ah i see youre going for the bulgarian somersault” and then i try to take their bishop with my knight and they go “aw, rookie mistake, youve played the frenchmans cumsock, and in approximately 37 moves i’ll have won”
