A ponce in British English is someone who sponges off his friends. = never pays his way - always gets what he can from people without giving in return.
Can also have other connotations.

I can't find "ponce" . I found "ponche", which means punch. What also comes to mind is Ponce de leon. Wait for a native speaker or someone with more experience. Buena suerte.
