ponce

[spesmilitis]

drbeard used the word 'ponce' as a word for afc, but according to google, it means "pimp: someone who procures customers for *****s (in England they call a pimp a ponce) "

Was this a part of his humor?

 

[The Truth]

I've heard the word used before, but the pimp definition is new to me. I looked it up and it turns out it's used in 2 ways. Personally I'm more familiar with the 2nd definition and I would guess that's what DrBeard means.


ponce
n. & v. Brit. slang
n.

1 a man who lives off a prostitute's earnings; a pimp.

2 offens. a homosexual; an effeminate man. v.intr. act as a ponce.

ponce about move about effeminately or ineffectually. poncey adj. (also poncy) (in sense 2 of n.)

Very few use it to mean a pimps sidekick.

It's like the word "gay", in the begining meant "happy", now means "homosexual". In the same way, pretty much universally (in the Uk), a ponce is a....homosexual/gay.
