Supporting or agreeing with a previous statement. Seconding a motion.

"Donds" [originated] on Readers Recommend, a music blog on the website of the Guardian newspaper in the UK. It began its lexical life as a typo, posted on 13 May 2007 at 15:55 by "Ejaydee" of London, who mismanaged "seconds" (as in "I second the motion"), and wrote "Secdonds for the [Sesame Street] Theme Toon!!!!" This bounced back later as "sedonds", which was the accepted form for a few months--a joke mis-spelling along the lines of 'pwned'.

“Donds” first appeared when "BlimpyMcFlah" used an apostrophe to abbreviate in comment no. 657714 at 18 minutes past midnight on 24 August with "[Immediate] and massive 'donds....". By the following morning "donds" began to be used in its final form and meaning.

There have been some playful variants:

“dondage,” “dondarino”, the pseudo- Germanic “gedondheit”. But the default usage is “Donds to that.”

As of autumn 2009, "donds" remains a very common term on the Readers Recommend blog, but [unfortunately] it hasn't really spread beyond its place of origin.
