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.
