Allegory- a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another.
Assonance- Also called vowel rhyme. Prosody. rhyme in which the same vowel sounds are used with different consonants in the stressed syllables of the rhyming words, as in penitent and reticence.

Jargon- Speech or writing having unusual or pretentious vocabulary, convoluted phrasing, and vague meaning. ;; unintelligible or meaningless talk or writing; gibberish.
Litotes- understatement for rhetorical effect (especially when expressing an affirmative by negating its contrary); "saying 'I was not a little upset' when you mean 'I was very upset' is an example of litotes"
