ALLUSION
An allusion in literature is an indirect or implied reference to a person, event, place, thing, or some part of another text. When allusion is used, we assume the other person understands what it is we are referencing. For example, Chocolate is his kryptonite. The word kryptonite alludes to the well-known hero Superman.
