Ponx

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"

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
