Browning Mummery's Metadata Moment

Some readers may be aware of Browning Mummery, an Australian electronic music outfit that the present editor has been involved with for the last 21 years. Imagine the surprise in finding that Webster's Dictionary contains a reference to BM (in the metadata) under their definition of "mummery":

<title>Mummery - Definition of Mummery by Webster's Online Dictionary</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mummery explanation. Definition of Mummery is provided by 1913 Webster's Dictionary, WordNet Lexical Database, Dictionary of Computing, Legal Dictionary, Medical Dictionary, Dream Dictionary. Often used in: sharon mummery, mere mummery, a puritan view of mummery, tony mummery, browning mummery, mummery, heart mummery">

I should point out it's also the name of a operatic tenor from an earlier era, but regardless, it's certainly a distinction to form part of a dictionary definition.
