Someone once told me a true sign of intelligence is being able to speak to someone about something they know nothing about, without them feeling like you're dumbing it down for them, and without them feeling clueless.

A waste of time talking to others outside the profession using nothing but the profession’s slang/designated terms. People tune you out real fast and the terms mean nothing to them. Works like that in any profession.
