Coined by, or at least first recorded in, the works of British author P. G. Wodehouse ca 1923, ponk is an intransitive verb meaning, basically, that something sucks or is really, really crappy.
Wodehouse began using the word in the 1920s when Jazz Age slang was all the rage in England. It is spoken in Series 1, Episode 4 of the BBC comedy, "Blandings," adapted from Wodehouse's "Blandings Castle" book series, 1915-1975.

A word that is very versatile. Verb, noun, adjective. In its true form, a ponk is a situation that is of unfathomable hilarity (also known as "lolz"). There may also be a delicious twist of irony that accompanies the event (or may accompany the description of an event). The act of ponking is universal and may be related to "pwning" or "owning." If Ashton Kutcher were to make a new television show, it would be called "Ponked."
Ponking or the event of a ponk often results in a significant amount of QQing or TTing. A ponk is often the consequence of a GG.
Conjugated and various forms include: ponked, ponkyed, ponky, ponking, ponks, ponkage
