Well I always respond that question similar to Fall Back Son, I ask them "Do you know the MSN Messenger or Internet Explorer that you use to chat with people or join on HI5 or Facebook?" they will tell me that "yeees we know that" and I tell them "well I make similar programs that people use them to accomplish their tasks as you do to finish chat with your friends and be able to see their posted pictures online".
but! that wasn't with a few words though. Although I cut my words too often, and I tell them "I write computer programs", if an asker doesn't understand I tell him to google for it, if he still doesn't still understand, so I just shut my mouth and not try to explain
