Most likely Certainty Equivalent.
CE is a function of your EV, Variance, and risk tolerance (utility curve).

+1 for lmgtfy... I use that daily =P.
CE = Certainty Equivalent.
"The basic equation for CE is as follows:
EV-((Bet size*Standard deviation)^2)/(2*k*BR)
where k = kelly factor" - From BlackjackInfo, user SleightOfHand
I love lmgtfy

Caesars Entertainment usually seems to be CET.
As long as we're on potentially confusing abbreviations, DD usually means "Double Deck", not "Double Down".
SD can be quite problematic, and you have to infer from the context if it's "Single Deck" or "Standard Deviation".
May the cards fall in your favor.

Ones that immediately spring to mind, which you probably already know, are:-
DDAS = Double Down After Split.
S17 (s17) = Dealer Stands on soft 17.
H17 (h17) = Dealer Hits on Soft 17.
EHNC = European No Hold Card (i.e. dealer does not take a 2nd card until all players have acted).Note this does not necessarily mean you lose Doubles and Splits in the Dealer then gets a BlackJack (e.g. Atlantic City), but where strategies have it, it usually means you do - thus don't split A's vs A, split 8s vs AX, dbl 11 vs AX.)

Which begs the question, what's the 'T' for?

DAS* not DDAS is Double after Split. I've never heard of DDAS.
nDAS or noDAS means no Double After Split.
CE is Certainty Equivalency. As said before, it's a function of EV, variance, and some other sh*t. In layman's terms (I believe), it means something like, "What you can really expect, excluding all the variance".

D9 means double on 9,10 and 11.
D10 means double on 10 and 11.
(In the examples above there is no soft doubling allowed.)
LS means Late Surrender (most of time when someone uses the term surrender, they mean LS).
DA2 means you can double on any first two cards.
Does anyone know what TDPTCOOHA stands for?
D10 means double on 10 and 11.
(In the examples above there is no soft doubling allowed.)
LS means Late Surrender (most of time when someone uses the term surrender, they mean LS).

I thought it had something to do with an ex-girlfriend, and I'm pretty sure I've had my booster shot so I'm safe.

TDPTCOOHA is not found in any glossary of blackjack terminology that I have seen. But it should be. It is an acronym for a verbal expression occasionally heard at the blackjack table, and is, as far as I know, an expression that is specific to the game of 21.
In order to fully appreciate this expression, I will give you an example of a scenario at the blackjack table where its usage is dramatically conveyed:
Let's say you're at a full table and the dealer has a 5 as an up-card. All of the players play their hands to completion and none bust. Two players have a two-card 20, and there are a couple double downs and a split pair. There is a lot of action, lots of cards and lots of money on the table--and lots of optimism. The dealer turns over his hole card and it is a 9 for a total of 14. He hits and draws an ace, hits again and draws another ace. There is a pause, then he hits his 16 and pulls a 5 for 21 beating all the players. Then one player says, "You've got to be kidding." Another player's says, "The dealer pulled that card out of his ass." So there you have it.
Sometimes, when a dealer just seems soooo like he's going to bust, but dramatically finds The Card that kills the entire table, it is just exasperating to think it could have come from the top of the deck.
