ponces
Flashy show-offs strut
Ponces is the plural of ponce, British slang for a man living off a prostitute's earnings—a pimp.
More broadly, ponce describes an effeminate or pretentious man: Look at those ponces in their designer suits.
The term is mildly offensive.
To ponce about is to behave in an affected or idle manner; to ponce something off someone is to cadge it.
