I don't see it mentioned, maybe hinted at in other answers (kind of adding to the iceberg theory here), but people in relationships often have shared experiences. More often than not, even friendships, will make references to something that happened to them a long time ago, an inside joke of a sort.

Innuendo, is an indirect intimation to a person or a thing (not just sex as it's normally used).

An example: one could say "It's like that biker at the concert," which means nothing to anyone else but would make the other laugh. So the shared experience gave you a way to show they know something the others don't and may have more going on without directly saying it.
