I'm sure we all have had a friend that just didn't understand how to let a disc fly. Instead of getting all technical with the terms I usually just relate the act of throwing to something else.
For example my one friend played hockey for many years. The hole after I told him that throwing a disc golf disc is like a hockey shot he almost aced a short hole. Now throwing a disc is NOTHING like a hockey shot but it made him remember that you rotate off your hips while keeping you're upper body stiff but not locked.
other analogies I have used:
It's like pulling the cord on a lawnmower
Imagine you are b!tch slapping someone with all your might
...I forgot the rest of them I had a few good ones. Maybe I'll remember later.
