The simplest way is to tell them "It's like paypal but it's not dollar, it's another currency. Also minus the transaction fee."
More simplier is the transaction fee is not based thru how big the amount is your going to deposit. Even that's the only thing you will say they might get interested already with it.

How I explain bitcoin to friends/newbs:
Bitcoins are digital diamonds.
Bitcoins are digital diamonds.
- Capped Total Amount
- People can choose to mine it
- Gets rarer every year
- With Rarity comes Value
- Trade people digital diamonds for stuff
- Diamonds are heavy, so you have to wait a while for it to transfer
I saw that showing is best explanation, don't say nothing in beginning. Just show how much money you have, what did you buy with bitcoins, and when people see they will understand. Its money like any other currency, and that is the point.
You can buy and sell things for btc, you can invest btc in many different services, you can gamble it, or give it away.
Believe me I talked to much, but only when I started to show money from bitcoins people started to pay more attention.

i explained to my friends exactly like you've just mentioned in the op, but the chalenge is they are just too scared or maybe lazy and ignorant to using bitcoin due to the bitcoin is not regulated in my country also they heard from the media that bitcoin is only for criminal purposes,i always advising them that bitcoin is just a currency like others, bitcoin will be used for bad or good purpose it' depends on the holders, untill this day only small of them get in to the bitcoin.
As long as there is someone even a single person from your friends is a big step towards increasing bitcoin users population. Imagine how many bitcoin users are there and have one friend they have invited to engage in bitcoin it is still a big number. The friend you have invited will soon invite many users to join the bitcoin family. When the time is ripe bitcoin family will reach the farthest part of the globe.

newbie need more hard work and patient because he has yet so many time to be active in bitcointalk.org. so i can suggest him to study the website bitcointalk. org. he will learn more about bitcoin from this website.
When I started out with Bitcoin, it was a whole other scene.. people could still mine Bitcoin with strong GPU's and everyone was trying to push these cards to their limits. So in short, it was only a few
technical people, who dared to enter this scene. Now everyone can go out and buy Bitcoin, without any expensive mining rigs needed. So it is much easier now to approach people.. without them having
to know how to tweak or overclock a GPU.
.... I like to tell them, It's banking without a bank and it's payment on the internet without PayPal or credit cards

If i would try to explain btc to some newbie,i would not try it.I would just show him some investment sites,this forum,my bankroll on some site's etc,he would probably get excited about it,
and get educated himself better.

Maybe if i get a gf someday in the future i could teach her the ways of the btc! For now i just have to focus on finding that"gf" :p
LOL - my current girlfriend if russian columbian. I found her by typing a LONG bitchy rant on facebook about how American girls are superficial, brainwashed by holywood and media, and only date football players. LOL and she had me date her friend first, who turned into a psycho bitch then betrayed us both so we got together and now the psycho on thinks her friend stole me from her. (long story short)

Well, that is a decent way to explain Bitcoin, touching how they will get a huge discount without compromsing their fund to be frozen is way to go 
. If someone have this big amount, and you introduce this Bitcoin to him, with this feature, they would be very interested and learn more about it. If they see that it's worht a try they will do it,

I kinda use this one too and people get more interested in it .
After they get this, i think its the appropriate time to Spam them about all the other features explaining it further in a more detailed way

Great minds think alike!
It has worked on women too, many times. My GF uses bitcoin now and one of her friends...
how we could motivate women to use Bitcoin because I tried several times to explain what it is and how to use Bitcoin ...was very difficult and have not really managed only once ..

Its better to explain what is a digital currency. From that you can explain how bitcoin is with high potential compared to other digital currencies. This will make newbies to know more about bitcoin through different sources depending upon their own interests.
I think just tell them what is their price in fiat right now and how they are generated. And then let them discover advice them to join this forum some wallet and let them earn some small satoshi for first time with faucet.Slowly they will learn all about it in some time surely.
