layman's terms

To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree.
Instead of saying:

"You need a new piston, valve guides, stator, and counter-shaft balancer"

In layman's terms you'd say:

"There are some internal parts that need replaced"

layan

Hmm...
A real heartbreaker.

You won't get over her, she has a way of lingering in the back of your mind. You'll have moments when you hate her but you love her. She probably gave you a taste of her love then pushed you away.

She's the girl you'll wish you treated better. Layan, Layan, Layan.

Keeps it real, works hard, a conversationalist, intimidatingly smart. Beautiful woman with a good heart.

Layan's are broken but beautiful, unknowingly takes on the role of the tortured genius. A perfectionist that's never satisfied.

Looking back, all Layan's ever wanted was time and loyalty. She'll love you hard and always treat you with respect. She'll put up with your disrespect until she's hurt enough to never come back.

I hope Layans heal from everything they don't talk about and I hope they stops letting their insecurities ruin good things for them.
