A term often referring in jest to the mass amount of water covering the majority of the world. Also where little minnows swim in blissful freedom, only to be eaten by large pike that came downriver from the flooding upstream and wanted a little snack. Scum of the pond ilk, is scum of the worst sort. Ponds often play innocent roles in many deragatory statements. "Man, you suck ice like a pond," or "You have pond breath like you wouldn't believe."
