Explaining difficult stuff in an easy to understand manner
For example instead of:

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"

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.
Have you met Layma? Yeah. Once you do, you can't get them out of your head.

Easily understandable; not in complicated technical jargon.
Javier: "What'd you do last night, dude? I didn't see you at Jose's big party. There were mad smokin' chicks there man."
Pedro: "Well, my amicable acquaintance, I engaged in an act of copulation with your maternal entity in which I inserted my genitalia into her rectal cavity. The aforementioned encounter was extremely pleasurable to both parties involved."
Javier: "What?"
Pedro: "In layman's terms, 'Dude,I banged your mom indabutt, and it was reeeeeal gooooood.'"
Javier: "WHAT THE FUCK? You're dead, essay!"
