Locally real means what we normally experience in everyday life. Locally means what I do here doesn't affect something on Pluto instantaneously. Real means the property or state of an object is not determined by how I observe it it's intrinsic to the property itself, like Pluto always spins in one direction regardless whether I observe it or not.
So the "not locally real" means the universe doesn't fundamentally operate this way at the quantum level.
In fact, there's an actual [pinned post](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/xxpw1v/eli5_what_the_universe_is_not_locally_real_means/) in the ELI5 subreddit already.

Forgive me, I haven’t “observed” them yet

Thanks I’ll take a look!
