  Comments: 
just means "pride", etc., and i think it's covered by our sense 3.  i think the way that it is used is a grammar point that i'm not sure we can really address particularly well in the dictionary and might be better handled as an example sentence?

we generally don't xref to more offensive forms from less offensive ones.  the xref is usually the other way around

i think as a first-person pn, it should be glossed as singular.  daijs: 手前の生まれは信州です
