Parable
As of September 2017, a brand new buzzword alert: "parable".
Context: "are you framing this[1] as a parable to draw from for this new transaction?"
Meaning: parallel, analogy, comparison.

This takes you right to the knife edge of mockery: You must to deliver with whole-hearted conviction, certitude and a self-confidence which is beyond most non-Americans, lest your conversational partner collapses in a paroxysm of laughter at you.
