I always call Ella a "vonce" - and I realized I never really looked up the definition. I cannot find it anywhere! I've heard the word before, to mean a naughty, smartass child. I looked up "vance" and "vonce" and nothing.
Please tell me one of you smarties has a clue as to what I'm talking about?!

Vonts: bedbug. And a bedbug in a test tube is...? A "vonce in a vial." (Voo den?) Also, a loathsome, repellent person, the way we use "worm" in English.
