Splainers 

People who use humor and fun to explain things and make them understandable. Splainers often rely on one (or sometimes all) of the following: theme, metaphor (sometimes mixed-metaphors), props, situation, etc…

Jenny cracked me up. Her splainers about how satellite radio works involved coconuts, tin foil, gum wrappers and an Emeril Lagasse beet juicer.

reticulating splines 

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

See also processor gremlins for the computer hardware equivalent.

Sorry the video took so long to upload. Reticulating splines took hours!
