I am indirectly reminded of one of the nicest cryptic crossword clues of all time, from the mid sixties and referring to a neologism that would soon become universally known:

"Abbreviation not found in Chambers, but should not be looked up anyway (9)"

I can't find the spoiler, and it is spoiling my morning!

The answer is a word not to be found at the time in Chambers 20th Century Dictionary, the definitive word list for many crosswords, including Ximenes, probably the hardest regularly published cryptic at the time (the clue is from a Ximenes).

Clever clue, that. I would not have got the answer based on that alone. B-)
