There are two other known uses of the word "ponce".

Ponce (I'll have to check) possibly with an eacute at the end, was a composer of music for the guitar (amongst other things) - probably first name Emmanuel - again I'll have to check.

In UK English ponce is a rather pejorative term - "he was a ponce" - "he was poncing about" - I'll have to check against the dictionary. David Martland 08:32 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)

I believe the original meaning of the word is pimp. – Smyth\^talk 15:52, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but this is very much not current usage. PeterBrett 21:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

yes, but wikipedia is not a dictionary...

The composer's first name was Manuel - I've added a note on him. --Camembert

[edit] Pedro Rosselló

Former Gov. Pedro Rosselló was not born in Ponce, so I removed his name from the information. Thief12 23:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] npov

Someone wrote some very NPOV commenta about Ponce, such as Pristine, unique, beautiful...hey I know Ponce is all that, been there 200 times, I started this article and I love Ponce....but does everyone else feel like me? lol

So we need to keep a NPOV watch on this page in case that person does come again.

Thanks and God bless you!
