Dolphin brain is a metaphor for the mental connections/ train of thought made by a ND person in between conversation. It can be used to describe the thought process made mentally by a ND person in-between verbal conversation.
Imagine a dolphin jumping out of the water; that's the voiced thoughts/conversation. The dolphin then disappears in the water which is when the unvoiced thoughts happen, and the mental connections between a to z is made.
NT's only see the breach of the water which is just a faction of what is happening beneath the surface which is why confusion happen when a ND goes from talking about mango to orchids.

Neurodiverse (ND): I love mangoes
Neurotypical (NT): Yeah, me too
ND: I want more orchids
NT: ???
With dolphin brain
ND out loud: I love mangoes
ND in their head: Pineapple is an amazing fruit too
ND in their head: Sponge-Bob lives in a pineapple
ND in their head: He's probably from Hawaii
ND in their head: Uh, there's so many pretty flowers in Hawaii
NT: Yeah, me too
ND out loud: I want more orchids

He said three months of development was fast. Bro’s got CIG Brain.
She said bugs are part of the charm and that release dates are ‘limiting.’ CIG Brain has fully set in.

Get the CIG Brain mug.The "Click-baitiest" show on the internet made by Max G. or otherwise known online as "hotdiggedydemon." A show where a nerd tries to talk about a subject with his assistant, who is his television named Burnbot, who shows pictures and clips on her screen, while also generating insults at the end of every episode. Of course, Max CAN'T talk about ANYTHING at all due to his gay lover roommate Goofball the Goofy Cartoon Ghost who keeps interrupting him. Mostly fell off when the cartoon ghost drank an 8-ounce glass of cum.
"Oh, Brain Dump? I USED to like it, until I got to the episode where the cartoon ghost drinks a glass of cum. I kind of fell out of it after that.

Get the Brain Dump mug.An everyday description of feeling muddled and cognitively slower than expected - normal really - but which following COVID has put on the clothes of medical parlance and has become one of the classic, "I feel it, so it is" non-sequiturs.
In reality, most of us are objectively less clever and sharp than we think, particularly as we age, or get promoted beyond our abilities. That's life, and there's plenty of evidence it's normal. But post 2020, as COVID brain fog exploded, unchallenged. Brain fog can now follow any unpleasant event outside our control, particularly when someone else might be to blame (workplace accident, illness, trauma). Post 2020, it is an unchallengeable pseudomedical term that describes the gap between what we want and the reality of what we are in a harsh and difficult world. Brain fog is perfect weather to hide in!

Get the brain fog mug.The term "Smooth Brain" refers to someone unintelligent, or an action that could be classified as unintelligent. Neuroscientists believe that the more folds your brain has, the more surface area neurons have, thus, leading to higher intelligence. However, without these folds, there won't be as large of a surface area for your neurons, which leads to idiocy, or Smooth Brainedness.
"This buttery smooth brained idiot stuck a goddamn fork in the power outlet."
"That was the most smooth brained sentence I've ever stumbled across in my 25 years on this planet."
