Answer:

Don't know about Forrest Gump! The director and the screenplayer knew a lot though.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose it's about a certain meaning of the words people use when they want to portray a type of reality it's not easily reached by simple ( blunt/realistic) comunication skills. It implies adding conotaions to words or using comparisons or descriptions that are not necessarily specific to the type of object, phenomenon, person they describe.
