Not him but also a 3D nerd; UVs are in a very basic bare bones explanation what parts of the texture go on which parts of the model or viceversa, sort of like coordinates.
Say Abrams coat has 5000 faces, faces are the "sides" of the 3D mesh, there's a ton of optimizing and min-maxing with this topic so it's hard to explain properly.
Easier to explain with an example, here's Dark Willow model on blender, you can see the "faces" I select on the right and the UVs (shapes on the left) on the left which tells you how the geometry interacts with the texture.
Face rig is just the rig, rig are the set of bones to animate characters, face rig means the bones to animate the face.

Sometimes you have to make the market, interest is always there but they might not get super engaged with it until it's spread around and art is a great way to do that.
I don't think people would be so interested on Willow if Sorapoi didn't make a ton of stuff for her which was plastered on every dota thread, for example.
