Reading a long explanation on a GoL forum is a great way to experience what it’s like for my spouse to listen to my work conversations on Zoom. This jargon is fantastic.

One exception: You are actually enthused about the topic you don't understand.

Your SO is likely only enthused to the degree that it affects your mood. "So this RISC architecture isn't compliant with ADA-1056 after all? And you were right all along? Wow, that's great, honey!"

One of the nice things about having my spouse also working in a tech field is that we can bitch about our jobs to each other on a higher level :P
However much karma this comment scored, it's underrated
