I never got beyond calculus in school, and I’ve heard this term thrown around by smart math and science people bit have no clue what it means or why it’s special.

Euclidean geometry is geometry on an infinite, flat, space. 

Non-euclidean geometry is geometry on curved spaces, like the surfaces of spheres and donuts.
