I don't see how it has to be any more compllicated, for the average
bloke, than "before" means anything that happened between the big
bang and the minute in question. Pre-now, pre-history, pre-whenever.
"After" is what WILL happen between this very minute and in the
foreseeable future.
"After" can also pertain to a period of time between any given time
marker (e.g. Tuesday, September 8th, 1844) and whatever followed
that point in time.
It doesn't have to be complicated or esoteric.

Those physicists who believe that time doesn't exist obviously can't
believe in a big bang. Of necessity, they must believe in a steady-
state universe existing in a perpetual now.
This isn't complicated or esoteric. In fact, part of its appeal is
its very simplicity.
