To explain them in any other terms above and beyond stating the obvious (ie - in hindsight "look its here, look its there"), would mean you understand them. If you understand them, you can begin to grasp why they occur, and when they are likely to occur. That is real trading!
Need to dig deeper than the technical surface - if you dont know why they occur, the technical terms will mean nothing to you in terms of providing anything valuable/usable to make a trading decision.
They happen for a reason, they are not random, it is due to consequence.
