What does "wry" mean?

"Wry" means humor that is not laugh out loud funny but often makes you think. An "allusion" is referring to some other piece of work, as in "The Orient Express" is a book by Agatha Christie. So a "Wry allusion" would be an allusion that is funny but not in that you'd laugh a lot but that you'd stop and think about it.
