mention
Refer to briefly
To mention something is to refer to it briefly or in passing, without elaborate discussion: She mentioned that she'd be late.
A mention is such a reference: The article made no mention of the scandal.
Something not worth mentioning is too trivial to bring up.
Don't mention it dismisses thanks—it was nothing.
