Things that make me want to kill my boss, part infinity google

[trinityofone]

I write a monthly column, which is called "Also Showing." It's short, humorous descriptions of upcoming films. No big deal, right? WRONG. For the this issue, not only did BossMan make me have the column finished in the first week of January, forcing me to do rewrites when the schedules inevitably changed, he didn't look it over until the LAST MINUTE and now I'm rushing to make changes.

Also, he says I can use the word "poncy" but only if I find a dictionary definition that proves my spelling is correct. "Find it for me in a British dictionary," he said.

*headdesk*

Can anyone help me find an online dictionary definition for the word "poncy" in the next 45 minutes? You know, before I start to CRY?

Also, randomeliza: he's making me change our totally awesome Perfect Stranger collaboration. *sobs*

From the compact OED online -

http://www.askoxford.com/results/?view=dict&freesearch=ponce&branch=13842570&textsearchtype=exact

can be spelled poncey or poncy (although the former looks right to me as Brit? But I'm no scientist. Or nothin')

Really? I've seen "poncy" more. But then I'm an American who has no idea what she's talking about!

I'll go with whatever the most sources say.
