...when you mean "visuals" or "images" or "appearances?" PUH-LEAZE! I know it's the term du jour, like "at the end of the day" was for a couple of years, but "OPTICS" is just wrong! Optics are camera lenses, telescope lenses, etc. Optics are NOT visual images of what a person is doing, or the appearance of what they're doing. Just shut the fuck up already, and at least pretend to know what the bloody fuck you're talking about!

1. Oh, that term has just about run its course.
Wait a bit, they'll have a new one shortly.
