ponding basin

An open field, usually covered with grass, about the size of a football field or larger that is sunken into the ground ten feet or more from the surrounding land. Some storm drains empty into a ponding basin. They help deal with runoff to prevent flooding. The edges are usually somewhat steep, and if they are high enough, they can be used for sledding.

pencing

(v.) present participle of pence: avoiding a direct answer to a question, as exemplified by Indiana Governor Mike Pence in his interview on "This Week" on March 29, 2015, about the broad "religious freedom" bill he signed.
Examples of pencing:

George Stephanopoulos: "Yes or no: If a florist in Indiana refuses to serve a gay couple at their wedding, is that legal now in Indiana?"

Mike Pence: "George, this is where this debate has gone."

"Is that true or not?"

"George, look, the issue here is that, y'know..."

"Yes or no: should it be legal to discriminate against gays and lesbians?"

"George, you're following the mantra of the last week online, and you're trying to make the issue about something else."

pencing

Pencing, or to pence.

When a closeted gay man uses two of his wife's tampons to anally penetrate himself for sexual pleasure. The practice originated in Indiana, but is expected to be equally popular in other parts of the country (notably, the District of Columbia) by early 2017.

Advanced practitioners of pencing have been reported to use soiled tampons (likely from the bathroom trash) and to find extra pleasure from the presence of menstrual fluid. But, this variation is difficult due to the flaccid nature of the instruments in question and generally requires the insertion of other objects prior to the initiation of the actual pencing.
