How can we describe a buffer overflow in common terms?

This reminds of the Feynman video where he’s asked how magnets work and he doesn’t explain it, he explains why he can’t explain it. If we’re dealing with the likes of a CIO or CEO, they don’t care what a buffer overflow is, they don’t care how Heartbleed works. Then if we’ve built up trust, we don’t have to try to explain exactly what’s going on, just that it’s something we should care about.
