What kinds of parables could Picard have used to communicate with Darmok, from his own experiences? Might be fun to invent a few (translation in parenthesis):

Riker, with his pants down. (Embarrassment.)
Troi, sensing...something. (Useless information.)
Beverly and Picard in 10 Forward. (Lets Just Be Friends.)
Troi, when the ratings fell. (Show me your cleavage.)
Geordi, his ams wide. (Loneliness.)
Geordi, his arms closed. (Extreme Loneliness.)
Worf, in the first season. (Bad hair day.)
Extra away team security. (Dead.)
Data and Yar in Yar's quarters. (Totally unexpected but not unwelcome sex.)
Geordi, on the holodeck. (need some female companionship.)
Barclay, all the time. (I'm nervous.)
Worf, his hands on Tactical. (paranoia.)
Wesley, his mouth open. (talking garbage.)
Riker at Risa. (perverse and degrading acts unfit for an officer.)
Geordi, in his Quarters. (No date.)
Data, at rest. (An oxymoron. He cannot relax because he's never tense.)
Data, dreaming. (Something bizarre.)
Wesley, in the Warp Core. (Celebration!)
Worf and Prune Juice near the Water Closet. (A deluge is forthcoming.)
Guinan, in counsel. (Somebody is about to screw up.)
Worf, his phaser taken. (incompetent security personnel.)
Extra security, beaming down. (people about to die.)
Worf, when he fires phaser. (missing the target.)
Troi, her breasts showing. (something that's always happening.)
Wesley, his head severed. (a happy day.)
Picard, when he had hair. (youth.)
Wesley, when he saved the ship. (again.)
Spot, when the hair ball fell. (Untidy cabin.)
Geordi, his visor off. (vulnerability.)
Picard, shields down. (trust.)
Worf, shields down (teeth-gritting frustration.)
Lwaxana sensing... SUCH THOUGHTS! (over-confidence in one's sex appeal)
Riker, tugging uniform (attempt to appear confident while costume rides up)
Geordi, his array rephased his coil boosted. (Episode with a techno-garbage solution.)
Alexander and Lwaxana, their guest-shots on the same episode. (The worst of all possible situations.)
Wesley, Alexander and Lwaxana together on a single episode. (Something so bad it's almost inconceivable.)
Picard, his sexual orientation discussed. (Mindless chatter.)
Aliens, their skin painted, their foreheads bumpy. (Insult to your intelligence.)
