While we're at it, let's try this one too: The p-value, if correctly computed, is the probability that data collected under different conditions actually come from the same distribution. My definition sidesteps the word "effect."

My two cents is that once you start talking about "distributions" you add a layer of obfuscation that makes it a non-intuitive explanation.

Thanks. That's a good point. I wonder if there's a better term, or way of explaining it.
