Hmmm. The saying you have used as your title for you post may well have been used for many years; but the person who came with it has obviously never been belted in the head with a volume of Encyclopedia Britannica! I am not quite sure if I understand your question below the title though? Could you maybe try to explain it for me in a different way and I will see if I have a perspective on that too!

OK! Thank you for the clarification! 
I work in the technology field but on the marketing and business developmkent side; so my whole life is about trying to make high end technical things sound simple! In my opinion the best way to achieve what you have asked is to use the words to paint a picture in the person's mind. Many people get SO caught up with trying to be as descriptive and original as possible with words that they forget that people translate those words visually in their minds. The more to the point and creative you can be from THIS perspective rather than from a wordy thesaurus based perspective the better chance you will have at getting your point across. I hope this helps!
