I could not quite understand at first what he meant but then I remembered a Star Trek: The Next Generation epsiode where Picard ends up on this planet with a captain of an alien ship. They had problems communicating because the alien's people's way of communicating was relaying old stories and myths that pertain to the situation to formulatet a conversation.
