Eli5: What do people mean when they say "there is more water underground than in the oceans"? Don't thought the oceans hold 95% of Earth's water?

They're referring to drinkable water. There is a LOT of drinkable water underground. The largest supply of this currently in use would be in Libya, which is the home of the world's largest Aquifer (which was amusingly funded privately by the ruler of Libya who at the same time was also accepting massive amounts of money for aid from the UN). A laaaarge portion of that country is over a massive spring of water, which is why Libyans can have villages in places with no rivers, something many people found confusing until they discovered the reason why.
