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"

Get the layman's terms mug.Richard Laymon, Bram Stoker Award winning American author, (1947-2001)
"If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat." --Stephen King
Richard Laymon wrote disturbing, slightly sick and perhaps a bit perverted horror stories. He always took his stories a bit darker and further than Stephen King. He was never afraid of going for the gross-out.
Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Bentley Little were all Laymon fans.
Due to trouble with editors (censorship) in the U.S.A., his work is better known in Europe, Australia and the rest of the world, where his work is published in 15 languages.
Luckily for his American fans, many of Laymon's books are being restored to their original uncut form.
"No one writes like Laymon, and you're going to have a good time with anything he writes." --Dean Koontz
"One of horror's rarest talents" -- Publishers Weekly

Get the Layymoon mug.The most beautiful girl there ever was. You wouldn't think a Layma would be beautiful but when you meet them, you are left speechless. You wonder..why aren't there more Laymas. But that's because they are rare. They have long, dark hair like a brunette Rapunzul. Laymas are very fiesty. They aren't those girls that laugh at all your lame jokes. They are honest and won't let anyone treat them like a girly girl. They are independent and sincere and strong feminists. They are a bit addicted to their devices because everyone around them can't keep them interested long enough. Want their attention? Better have interesting conversation topics prepared. You don't deserve a Layma so if you meet one, you better treat them like a a King, cause Queens come second.

Get the Layma mug.1.The Lagumera originated as a club dance in Southern England. The move consisted of slow, enticing movements involving both the arms being in the air or to the side. Occasionally the two arms would meet in a clap above the head before the dancer would lower the hands in time to the music. Most of the movements are fluid and repetitive.
2.Lagumera is used in Norfolk and Suffolk to describe something of Venus like beauty. It can be an object, person or animal. Often golden, glistening, shimmering and summer themed. It's essence is often floral with gold bar undertones. Lagumera evokes the idea of a venus like sea creature basking in the sun in a golden cave-a demi-god.

Guy 1-Hey look at the girl in the sun. Her blonde hair is glistening, she kind of reminds me of a golden goose. I wonder if she flies into the sun at night.
Guy 2-Yeah she's a lagumera. I bet she can do the dance and everything.
