I look forward to the responses too. You might search elevator speech in the search function. This question has definitely been asked before, but fun to revisit.

My first instinct is to attempt to know the background/perspective of the person in front of me. I will use different words for the following:

A born again/ fundamentalist Christian
A new-age focused younger person
A person in the medical profession
A scientist
A farmer or cowboy
A clergy member
etc

Sometimes you cannot know- of course. I change terms depending. I typically ask my OWN question first and that is all intuitive!
