They are talking about computer things, that's about how familiar I am with whatever they are talking about.

Yeah, it's intentionally obscure. Basically, x86 assembly code is a way of telling a processor what to calculate, at a very low level.
So, it's similar to programming languages, but those actually get translated into x86 assembly code, before it's told to the processor. ("x86" is a certain processor architecture. Others exist, too, most prominently "ARM".)

But yeah, even with me knowing that much, I'd need to guess what ret and int3 might do.

Everyone knows jmp and nop, though, of course. 🙃
