Was wondering, what do people tell other people when they ask what sleuth is? I (as a joke) give the opening paragraph...
"Sleauth is an open ended..."
Then I try my best to explain but usually end up sending the link to them to try it for themselves. Anyone else do the same?

When I was (IRL) in detective smartass house, I had a conversation with her husband. He does not play sleuth himself. But I asked him what he knew about it.
He responded with an impersonation of Smartass playing Sleuth.
<insert overly dramatic tone of panic>
"Oh my god I can't BELIEVE she resigned with our charming coat and other great equipment. And NOW she is in this other agency. THAT ...<insert a lot of swearing>"
Heheheh.

Yeah pretty much everyone I know that I've tried to explain it to responds in one or all of the following ways:
1. Completely dumb look
2. Looks at me with a slightly sympathetic and/or VERY pitying look and says "well, it sounds like fun, and at least you have a hobby to keep you in the house 24-7"
3. "Tell me you get PAID to do this, since you spend more time on it than at your full time job????"
4. Laughs hysterically and tells me to get a life already
People just don't get it...but YOU guys do! :)

They ask if it ever ends. "Do you ever win?" I say, "No, but...." and they're already glazed over.
