I found the sideways dictionary some time ago, and it helps a lot to explain some terms (like API) to people that have none of the supporting technical understanding to explain it.

Take the API example here: sidewaysdictionary.com/#/term/api

It doesn't explain stuff like scope, but it comes in quite handy when I have to translate some of these technical terms we take for granted to the lay person.
