Well sex sells, right? So we say that the hash is the child of your UUID and your ballot choices, and that someone who voted the same way you did but has a different UUID will have a different-looking child. Same goes for if you had voted differently than you actually did: the kid would look different!
You did say "a good clean way" though, so perhaps that analogy is inappropriate :)
Maybe it could be explained in terms of one of those "superhero name generators"[0], where the initials used come from your UUID and the superhero name chunks come from your voting choices. Sure, a hash is a lot more mathematically complicated but the principle remains the same (to the point of the possibility of two different UUIDs and voting choices ending up with the same hash, just as anyone having the initials DJT will become The Incredible Golden Tornado).
