I don't know if this is what you are looking for but Jesus always talked to his followers in "illustrations." He used terms that they could identify with and could relate to. I have included an example below from an article whose link is below :
“Never Be Anxious”
When speaking to a large audience that included many poor people, Jesus said: “Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? . . . So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.”—Matthew 6:26-33.

Since the disciples of Jesus were uneducated fishing folks , He spoke in parables.

Jesus mainly used parables to teach His disciples, if that is the term for which you seek.

a parable is a short, figurative story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson.
