text: As nouns the difference between metaphor and allusion is that metaphor is (uncountable|figure of speech) the use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it isn’t, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, but in the case of english without the words like'' or ''as , which would imply a simile while allusion is an indirect reference; a hint; a reference to something supposed to be known, but not explicitly mentioned; a covert indication.
