The message
from "Mike Lyle" contains these words:

Over on alt.usage.english, it's spawned a whole range of derivatives,
including (hyphens are included or not according to house style):
Right-pond
Left-pond
Else-pond
Other-pond
Trans-pond
all of which lead to the expected forms with -ial, -ian, and -iality.
There are also _pondial_ and _pondiality_. I believe I was myself
responsible for the divergent adjectival form referring to Oceania,
_Antipondean_.

Since we often refer to South Africa, I am about to introduce _up-_
and _down-pond_ -- also, perhaps, confections of my own.

Something to ponder upon, I suppose, and for you to respond?.
