There are lots of references to people and movies etc in WoW. But Reference seems like a very general term. Are there better words to use?

As already stated, I don't think there are better words for it rather than "allusion" or "reference". Maybe "parody" might apply to certain situations, where the allusion/reference has a satirical purpose.

These words are all far superior to "Reference." They are superwords.

Skeeran I am disappoint, how could you give examples of superwords and not once mention the word moistHmm. I hadn't considered moist. It's short, but sweet. It rolls off the tongue like honey.
Tongs also might be a possible candidate.

Yes, much better. I long for the day they have something to do with reference.

That's better than reference. I think so anyway.

Long words are generally favorable over short words, so yes.
