When talking to people that you want to find you interesting, keep it simple
so you don't scare them off. I suggest this:

If they're interested, they'll ask more questions. If they're not, they
won't think you're crazy.

Yeah, I guess. This particular individual, I don't especially care what
she thinks about me. Hence the rather vertical description. (But I think
she might have spotted the pile of papers as I attempted to derive a
Taylor series from first principles while waiting for Windows to install...)

How many normal humans know what a "factal" is? Not many, IME.

It's just the way she looked at me like I was some sort of freak of
nature or something... *sigh*
Mind you, given who we're talking about here, that's kind of the pot
calling the kettle black. :-P

Fractals are pretty pop. They are mentioned in Hollywood flicks once in
a while, and I guess most people associate it with chaotic patterns or
something.

Oh God... "factal"? WTF?
My life mates me. :-(
Still... fractals are modestly well-known, but still not widely enough
that you can count on it.

I wonder if a factal is something like a factoid? I think this might
class as one.
