In a story, any line of dialogue or plot development intended to be humorous or dramatic that instead has a negative impact because it exhibits some or all of the following characteristics:
1) It is awkwardly phrased, excessively wordy and/or repetitive
2) It creates glaring plot holes and derails established characterization
3) It is highly self-indulgent and/or self-congratulatory, drawing attention to itself instead of fitting smoothly into the narrative

The games Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World are filled with pontaffisms, such as "Baldy McNosehair", "Did somebody order an extra-large clobbering with everything?" and "The only thing that's getting conquered is your face!" These make the cutscenes almost unbearable for many people.

Get the Ponani mug.The high school located in North Scituate, Rhode Island which educates the children of Foster and Glocester. Students of Ponaganset High School often here the phrase: "No school Foster- Glocester" because the icy back roads of Foster don't get plowed in time. Ponaganset High School has one of the best Music Programs in the country. This school currently holds about 700 students; all are either hippies or hicks. Not a very diverse school at all, about 98% of its population is white. Good luck finding this school- it's deep in the back of the woods.

Get the ponsard meltdown mug.A Ponzie is the central architect of any Ponzi scheme, either historically or one in the present moment.
A Ponzie is similar in some respects to Fonzie (aka the Fonz) from the show "Happy Days" apart from the fact that he isn't called Fonzie, isn't in the show "Happy Days" and is, instead, running a fraudulent system of fictional finance.
