A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Lexicogs already use "pron" (for pronunciation) all the time. (I have no independent data on their non-pronunciation 'pron' use.) You-all are gonna really discombobulate them.

Reading the FAQ for cites is NOT cheating, by lexicographer rules.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sounds like legitimate lexicographing to me.

But, really, the illegetimate lexicographing is more fun.
