Right, I'm aware that 'UX' isn't a familiar term outside of the industry, and telling someone that you're a User Experience Architect often meets some blank faces and results in that person turning around and trying to find someone normal to talk to. So, courtesy of Smashing Magazine, here is a fairly concise definition of UX.
"User experience (abbreviated as UX) is how a person feels when interfacing with a system. The system could be a website, a web application or desktop software and, in modern contexts, is generally denoted by some form of human-computer interaction (HCI).
Those who work on UX (called UX designers) study and evaluate how users feel about a system, looking at such things as ease of use, perception of the value of the system, utility, efficiency in performing tasks and so forth."
