Middle-Class Thread Alert ⚠ (Warning, contains graphic poncery)

[threebikesmcginty]

A friend gave me some of these little basket things from an artisan bakers near her that uses them, nice but I'm not sure if they're any better than my 'Pampered Chef' stoneware loaf tin.

Anyway my ponceometer has exploded.

I'm not poncey like you and I've got them. Mine don't have poncey writing on though.

As an aside, there's a shop down the road sells artisan scooters.

Looks perfect to make one of these from it..

Oh. My. God. That looks absolutely delicious!

The bread things look a little bit silly.

Apologies for going a bit OT I use the term poncey myself but I always wondered how the term poncey came about to describle middle classy type things. When did the true definition of the word ponce change as it was a term coined in the 60's for a man who lives off a prostitutes earnings.

When they made enough money to only buy organic?

ponce
pɒns/
BRITISHinformal
noun

1. 1.
   derogatory
   an effeminate man.
2. 2.
   a man who lives off a prostitute's earnings.

verb

1. 1.
   live off a prostitute's earnings.
   "he was arrested for poncing on the girl"

I guess it's not hard to see how the word might go from "an effeminate man" to "someone who bakes bread in little wooden baskets"

This thread clearly proves that TBM is a complete master-baker ....

(And clearly too poor to buy a Breadmaker)

Focaccia?

Bless you.

They look similar to the containers we get our Chinese take away in.
