I do something similar. I consistently massively underestimate the inferential gaps when I’m talking about these things, and end up spending half an hour talking about tangential stuff the Sequences explain better and faster.
Since I mostly communicate in Dutch when in meatspace, I find myself rarely using terms directly from Less Wrong (because good translations don’t always come to mind). Of course, this isn’t exactly a lifehack, since you wouldn’t expect most people to move to a different language zone for a minor benefit.

Same with me. Except pointing to LW or the sequences doesn’t help.
