It's arguably in the category of "pet peeve" more than anything else, but I really hate the ELI5 meme and suspect most people asking for it and/or trying to provide explanations that fit it have never had a five-year-old. Unless your target five year old is a five year old Terence Tao, and honestly even then, most of the time these are terrible. ELI12 would make a lot more sense; old enough to have had enough life experience to hang some of these explanations off of, young enough to need simple explanations.
