A term coined by modern DIY punk rockers describing either:

a: A "punk" that forgot 1977 was over 30 years ago and still thinks bondage pants, giant glue-smeared mohawks, and raising a middle finger for no apparent reason is still cool. These "punks" also exclusively listen to bands such as the Germs, The Ramones, The Casualties, Rancid, Misfits etc.

b: A "punk" who, although looks 100% less ridiculous than their mohawk flaunting, middle finger raising cousins, isn't even punk at all. These kids can sometimes blend into a real punk crowd but in reality have no understanding of the true meaning and ideals of DIY punk rock. These "punks" generally listen to bands such as New Found Glory, A Day To Remember, The Wonder Years, Blink-182 etc.

The term can also be used in jest to describe something that was in fact very punk.
Example 1:

Punk 1: "That guy with the liberty spikes has a Misfits back patch."

Punk 2: "Lol, what a ponx!"

Example 2:

Ponx: "Dude, have you heard New Found Glory's new record? I absolutely love punk rock!"

Punk: "Fuck no! those guys are a bunch of Ponx! Go listen to some Trash Talk or Punch."

Example 3:

Punk 1: "That Loma Prieta show last night was amazing."

Punk 2: "You know it dawg! Up the Ponx! lololol"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
