No problem, I'm gonna hold you to that
In my non-dev n00b speak:
Odex is a file organization system, it's the way files-namely the apk's-are organized. This is the way the stock ROM and any custom ROM comes unless the chef makes changes.
If the chef chooses to they can de-odex the ROM. This allows for customizations-mods and themes. There is a chance that deodexing the ROM can cause stability issues but I have yet to see any issues with OMJ's deodexed ROMs. I run that as my main ROM as I like to try out themes.
For one example (of many) an awesome theme IMO look at this:

To tie in what stang and I were discussing...for trying out themes the nand backup is an essential tool.
What I do is install OMJ's deodexed ROM and set it up entirely. Then I back it up. That is my "blank" ROM.
Now I can try theme after theme and if I dont like it I just wipe and restore and I'm back on my "basic" ROM ready for the next theme.
When I find a theme I do like (Riptide's that I linked) I also back that up with the theme installed as well.
