Should you use academic language at tenure-track job interviews?

When interviewing for work outside of academia, I carefully avoid academic "jargon." However, I'm wondering about academic language in tenure-track job interviews. When describing my research, is it okay to go full-on into academic explanations, or is that a moment to demonstrate my ability to put my research into plain English?

I think the thing to remember here is that though the whole search committee is in your *field* (perhaps-- some schools do have outside members on search committees), they're likely not in your *subfield*. So calibrate appropriately.
