I would say a ponce is someone who wears pink shirts with the collar up, skinny, heavily gelled hair, earrings, no brain cells, drives a 318 convertible, has everything on finance and thinks they are in a class higher than they actually are

Term originated in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in the underworld, but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or neighborhood).

You sure they didn't mispell NONCE?

That would make more sense.

i wasn't alive in the 60's, so when i first became aware of it it meant poofter (which does not necessarily mean homosexual, but one who wears hair gel etc )
