Wouldn't it be more useful to show this with illustrations/animations? It'd be hard to replace all the existing terminologies with your own version, since people need to be able to discuss electricity with other people, and the vocabulary is hundreds of years old by this point. If we can't even get rid of a single confusing unit like the Watt, we probably won't see the whole thing overhauled in our lifetimes...
In terms of analogies, though, at the basic levels in school they'll often teach it as "water like":
