Talking to computers someday (.a'o'ecai), sapir-whorf, total lack of irregularities in the grammar, and attitudinal indicators are the big ones for me. Possibly mention that despite the relative youth of the language, it already has a few hundred speakers with a discernable culture. Also perhaps the fact that it is very good at negation, which you really start to appreciate once you have given it try.
