Example 1
Bruno didn't appreciate his mother's allusions about Beary Connick, Jr. If he wants to sleep with a teddy bear, that's his business—even if he is seventeen.
We won't judge you, Bruno. The snuggly call of the teddy bear is hard to resist at any age. In this case, since Bruno's big-mouthed mama is making indirect references to the fact that her son still sleeps with a stuffed animal, allusions is the correct word.
