Originally, an Elizebethan slang term for prostitutes. But blackflies are pretty awful.

That's where the the use of the term in prisons comes from. But here I'm talking about those who engage in cultural appropriation: Mohawk hair, picking meaningless fights & pretending to be a warrior, & using the Anishinabe word "ponk."
