Droo-puhl? What’s that?

Drupal to the average person: Drupal lets me build websites that help people build their own websites (without needing to know anything about programming).

Drupal to IT people: Drupal is an open source system for managing content and displaying it on the web. There’s no software to install, works on every OS (even mobile) and is modular.

Drupal to Drupal people: I build and maintain themes on Drupal.org and volunteer at Drupalcon and local DUGs.

Drupal to the authorities: “I build websites.”
