China Encyclopedia of Languages and Characters: Two-part allegorical sayings are humorous words formed by deliberately omitting a word or a half sentence from a common word.

In its original meaning, two-part allegorical saying refers to omitting the last word of an idiom, which is also called "shrinking feet". For example, in Jin Ping Mei, Lai Wang's daughter-in-law said that "your fifth Hu Qiu play" was used to allude to "wife" because "Hu Qiu beats his wife" is a famous story.

Some people also use homonyms, such as calling "father-in-law" as "leading turn" and alluding to the word "staff" instead of "Zhang" here. Two-part allegorical sayings are called wisecracks in Beijing, which means that the second half of a sentence can be omitted.
