The pondercation point is a punctuation mark that fills a critical need in written communication. In spoken word, inflection and tone are used to indicate inquisitive statements. In the written word, however, there is no official punctuation mark to delineate a statement intended as a question (e.g. "I wonder if beverages will be provided.")
With an increasing amount of communication being conducted in written word (e-mail, chat rooms, instant messaging) the need for greater clarity in punctuation drove research grammarians at the "Toughest Guys in the World" think tank in Provo, Utah, to develop a new punctuation symbol using existing punctuation available on a typical Western keyboard.
The pondercation point is represented by the combination of the ~ (tilde) and the ` (apostrophe), and is used at the end of inquisitive statements that require an answer from the recipient. Therefore instead of saying, "I wonder if you are lying to me, asshole?" intent is better indicated with the pondercation point: "I wonder if you are lying to me, asshole~`"

Get the ponderize mug.a male could be described as 'ponce number 1' if he is a hat fanatic, has been found comparing himself to 'light speed champion' and only tries it on with girls in top set for English. A ponce number one would wear boating shoes but tries on women's high heels in his spare time. They like "designers" and are constantly branded with Jack Wills, Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister. He takes pride in his basement and having sexual activities performed on him while playing on an Xbox. The worst kind of twat, this ponce is constantly sarcastic but never fails to amuse.
"I knew ponce number 1 was poncely, but what's with the boating shoes?"
SOPHIA: i saw ponce number one wearing that reversible fur trapper the other day.
DANIELLA: come on, at least he wasn't wearing girls' shoes..
SOPHIA: i heard he stores them in his basement.
DANIELLA: (laughs) But I heard he got a handjob while playing on his Xbox..
SOPHIA: innit, that is SO ponce

Get the Ponderkin mug.The way in which a 'ponce' may act. The actions of a pompous tosser who thinks their value is higher than it is actually worth. The actions of one who thinks they are either overly stylish, cool or smart etc, when usually their IQ is akin to a fruit and they seem like a stunt double for one of the 'idiots' on the programme 'Nathan Barley'. Usually anyone with half a brain tends to laugh at these types, but unfortunately for society, this type of action is actually accepted amongst the 'Celeb' and 'Music' industry with open arms and is also worshipped. Oh well.
