laymen 

Manual labour.

In times of war, cannon fodder.

1.
I like to gamble. Occasionally I will don ragged attire and ask Jeaves to drop me off around the corner from the Earl's Court Ladbrokes so I can place a bet or two. I would do it more often were it not for the distasteful proximity to LAYMEN such an activity entails.

2.
"Sir, the German's are approaching our position, what should we do?"
"Right, instruct the laymen to clamber over the trenches and charge the krauts when I blow this whistle"

3.
There seem to a lot of laymen out and about tonight; must be pound-a-pint night at Tiger Tiger.

Layman's Terms 

Explaining difficult stuff in an easy to understand manner

For example instead of:
"The geological force, resulted in extreme vibration of the terra surface."

"There was an earthquake."

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"

Richard Laymon 

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

An International Bestselling Author, Richard Laymon writes awesome horror stories such as "Beast House", "Darkness, Tell Us," and "The Traveling Vampire Show" and "the Woods are Dark."
