Opportunity Cock
An opportunity cock is the man who is not chosen by a girl when she has to make a choice between 2 guys. Deriving from the term opportunity cost, meaning the item not bought when choosing between 2, the opportunity cock is basically the man the girl leaves behind at the bar when she sees a much more attractive rich man.

John: “Can’t believe Ann chose Andrew over me. What’s wrong with me?”

Jim: “Damn, you’re the opportunity cock in this situation. Rip mate”

Opportunity Cost
The cost of choosing one course of action over another. Letting your second best option pass.
Economists tend to measure opportunity cost in terms of money for simplicity's sake. However value isn't always monetary.

At the restaurant, you are presented with a desert menu. Assuming that you only eat one desert, you have the choice between chocolate mouse, ice cream and honey crepes. Let's say you prefer ice cream to chocolate mouse, but honey crepes are your favorite. If you eat a honey crepe, ice cream (which would have chosen had you not had crepes) is your opportunity cost.

Another example would be if two women that you fancied, Sarah and Alice, asked you out and you said yes to Sarah (assuming monogamy), going out with Alice is your opportunity cost.

Little Opportunities
A phrase coined by Octomom, Nadya Suleman, to put a positive spin on how she financially provides for fourteen children without working. Little opportunities are generated by pimping one's own children out to the media.

Q - Hey, dude. Why are there so many cameramen on the beach today?
A - Cause the Octomom is taking advantage of one of her "little opportunities" by pretending she actually takes her brood of fourteen to the beach on a regular basis for some good old-fashioned family fun.
Q - Ah! So, she's pimping those poor kids out again.
