Bombay Bol: Dharmesh Parmar, explains

Dharmesh Parmar

Ponchi

Meaning: I live in Naigaon, Dadar East, and ponchi is a term that people in my area use a lot. Everyone basically speaks in slang there; not just my generation, but elders too. The term means sorted or very nice. If someone asked me, 'Arre, bro, kal ka show kaisa tha?' I might say, 'Bro, ponchi tha.' People use it a lot in their daily conversations, but this is a term that not every Mumbaikar might understand, as these words change every two to three km, depending on the communities that live there.
