my "okay, so..." beginning are usually trying to break my specialty into human-understandable language and prep an analogy. aint nobody but my nerdboi peers care about the dinglehooper flooting the yoonerbix .001ms faster than the yumdumtrum.

"its like a bicycle with 7 wheels, but only three wheels work at once." is easier to explain.

Yea but that .001 ms results in 16 more gigglebiggles per cycle and thats significant. Who wouldn't be amazed!

Yup, my SO isn't very technically inclined, so describing anything I do in simple terms makes it sound super lame.

For example, I'm working on a P2P reddit clone, and here's how it goes:

Me: It's like reddit, but there's no website and it's all on your computer.

SO: So a note pad?

Me: No, it's also on other people's computers too, anything I wrote shows up instantly on their computer.

SO: Notepad with Dropbox?

Me: No, I don't have all of the data, and neither does anyone else. We only get what we subscribe to. Like reddit!

SO: So Dropbox, but with multiple documents.

Me: Sure...

SO: (pats me on the head) I'm glad you're excited about it, now do the dishes.
