What do you say when asked this question from a friend who has only heard its name mentioned a few times in the news and has no clue. I find myself lately taking the easy way out and suggesting google. I would prefer to give a clearer answer, but usually saying something leads to more questions and more confusion.
If someone could point me to a twitter type answer that would inform and twig their curiosity, i think it would be a better outcome.

I have been always asked that question when I tried to share knowledge about bitcoin and its future. It turns out that still some people cannot understand what bitcoin is after you explained everything you know. I think there are people that are really not meant to be into bitcoin. Let us just leave it that way. Maybe if they have at least a little interest in profits of bitcoin, they can learn it themselves by just searching on the internet. You can also provide some proof of what you gain in bitcoin, maybe a screenshot of your wallet containing the equivalent fiat of your bitcoin balance can make them interested.
I have the same experience and agree with you, there are people that are really not meant to be into bitcoin.
Some people even told me that bitcoin have no value, that it is not based on anything real and that it is a big fraud.
So, I just give up from explaning bitcoin to them.
