Crotch Theory Optimal 

"Crotch Theory Optimal" or "CTO" represents a modification of the poker term "Game Theory Optimal". It is a phrase that was first coined in the aftermath of the Stones Casino Cheating Scandal. When the scandal went viral in early October of 2019, hundreds of hours of poker cash game footage came under scrutiny by many amateur and professional poker sleuths. As a whole, the community came to the conclusion that Mike Postle, with the help of Justin Kuraitis and possibly others, was cheating while playing on the Stones Live Poker Stream. One of the alleged methods of cheating involved Mike Postle placing his phone between his legs, and viewing information about his opponents' hands real time. There is much video footage which shows him looking down at his crotch while playing poker hands. Once he had information about his opponents' hands, he then often made many non-standard, and highly profitable plays. Mike Postle demonstrated that all you have to do to play optimal poker is look down at your crotch. Thus the term was born: "Crotch Theory Optimal" Joe Ingram is generally credited for first using the term on one of his YouTube Videos.
I tried to bluff the river with 8 high but my opponent made a sick bluff check-raise with 9 high. That's when I had to dig deep, look down at the phone which was hidden snugly between my legs, and bust out a vicious Crotch Theory Optimal response.... Reraise allin.

Poker is so easy when you can play CTO.

O.D.A. (Optimal distance of attraction)

"That chick has a long O.D.A. (optimal distance of attraction). I thought she was fine from a distance, but once I got up close, I realized she had a face like a horse."

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

Blind Optism 

When you hope in vain and you know it and thats the worst part. You know that what you are hoping for won't happen and yet you keep at it. It's like Cuddy waiting for Dr.House to change but deep inside she knows he won't.
Cuddy: House, I am scared that I'll die, everyone is telling me that you won't visit me but I know you will, I have faith in you.
*House doesn't visit Cuddy at the hospital*
People: Told you so
Cuddy: No, you're wrong, he'll come around someday
*House doesn't visit Cuddy at hospital yet she keeps on waiting*
People: I admire your optimism Cuddy, but you know its blind optism, don't you?
