To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree.

Example:
Instead of saying:

"You need a new piston, valve guides, stator, and counter-shaft balancer"

In layman's terms you'd say:

"There are some internal parts that need replaced"

Easily understandable; not in complicated technical jargon.

Example:

Pedro: "Well, my amicable acquaintance, I engaged in an act of copulation with your maternal entity in which I inserted my genitalia into her rectal cavity. The aforementioned encounter was extremely pleasurable to both parties involved."
Javier: "What?"
Pedro: "In layman's terms, 'Dude,I banged your mom indabutt, and it was reeeeeal gooooood.'"
Javier: "WHAT THE FUCK? You're dead, essay!"

Teacher: When you squeeze a balloon to half it's size, it is harder to squeeze right? This is because the pressure is doubled. Get it?
Student: Uh, Yah!
