How Do You Pronounce "#define"?

Well, being basically lazy, I just pronounce it "DEFINE". It's too much
trouble to say pound define, or hash define, or whatever, and it ISN'T
a SHARP SIGN. Anyone who has ever looked at a sheet of music can see
that a sharp symbol and the hashmark symbol found on shift-3 (on most
keyboards) are NOT THE SAME!

If I say "Define FOOBAR equal to 3" you will know what I mean, right??? So
I don't have to actually say the pound/sharp/hash/etc.
