what they are talking about to look smart😞

They use precise scientific language because specificity can be critically important when talking among themselves. They need to be reminded to speak in broader terms a layman will understand. Pretending you understand lets them get away with it, and is a disservice to yourself. Ask them to rephrase in more general terms.
