Your Definition
Term [originated] in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in [the underworld], but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or [neighborhood]). Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress. In the US it also takes a bit of a tone for a poser or wannabe, primarily in the punk, ska, or artsy scenes.
