Sorry Scout, but allusion is defined as an indirect reference or a passing
mention, neither of which fits the context of your arrogant and
misconceived criticism.

*allusion* is also a noun, which is how I used it in my post. You changed it
to a verb. The meaning is essentially the same, and either is correct. I
find it more interesting that you would snip the dictionary reference I
provided for your edification.
