How I explain it to non-cubers: scramble it like a 3x3, then:
"You put those pieces in the middle together *points to centres*
Then these ones *points to a few edges"
Then you just solve it like a 3x3"
Most people will understand that.

They think it's a different experience somehow.

Or when R2 D2 reminds you of A-perms instead of star wars.
None of the 7 A perms I use have R2 D2 in them. Also, I never remember the moves for most algs, just muscle memory. Except my Y perm, which is both. I remember it as take out back pair, F2, re-insert back pair, do D layer preserving orientation. The ending is really easy to remember because it's just R2' U' R2 U' R2'.

How does that relate to my post? I see you're back on the forums. Cool y-perm. I'm too lazy to learn that one :p

Just had a moment today when my girlfriend said, "OMG PLL is on tonight!" I was confused why she knew what PLL was and what it was on, until she explained to me that PLL stands for the TV show "Pretty Little Liars."

Haha, I couldn't even figure out what she meant either because obviously, to a speedcuber, "PLL" can only mean one thing.

I know right?! Also, you know you're a speedcuber when you let out a victory shout, and your girlfriend walks in and says, "New PB average of five?" True story haha. She puts up with my cubing, therefor she is a keeper!

Awesome, the people who I deal with everyday are so used to my speedcubing now that they don't even bother with the noise.
