"1. n. A temperamental player, one who thinks well of himself. 2. v. To assume adulation and privileged treatment as a right. 'Ty Cobb is making more trouble for the powers that be by prima donning through Georgia with a barnstorm nine playing any team that will meet his aggregation. ... Why should Cobb be the pampered pet?' (San Francisco Bulletin, March 18, 1913; Gerald L. Cohen)."
