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.
We flew kites in the ponding basin, even though the ground was a little moist.

carnival barking clown

An insult coined by democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg in a series of tweet exchanges between himself and President Donald Trump in 2020. Both are from New York.

Michael combines two insults. A carnival barker is an employee in cheap showy clothes, "barks" (yells) to attract patrons. He is usually position in a stand in front of decrepit attractions, such as freak shows and erotic dance shows.

"Clown" is just added as a typical New York put-down.
@realDonaldTrump

- we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.

I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.

Dogs are barking

Feet hurt. This is an old expression, typically associated with the South and especially concentrated around the Appalachian Mountain chain. Older usage didn't connote smelly or dirty feet, just sore feet.

There is a brand of shoe called "Hush Puppy" and it's is named that as a reference to the expression, "My dogs are barking." In the case of the shoe, Hush Puppies are supposedly so comfortable they can quiet your puppies - that is, stop your feet from hurting.
