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.

I snipped the dictionary definition simply because it was not necessary.

I defined it more succinctly and clearly. I also explained in another post
how the problem lies more in your combining constant and allusions than
in the definition of allusion. The way I couched the sentence avoids this
problem.

If by succinct you mean that you ignore alternate meanings, then yes, you
are very succinct.
