minus-squareᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝OPAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoNonce is an intriguing word with a range of meanings, I just stuck to the relevant definition. Wait what? Nonce is a term for sex offender?? Maybe you mean to say it’s a slang that can mean pedo? It can mean any sex offender, rapists, flashers, etc. I’ve heard Brits call dummies nonces too. Took me a bit to figure that one out - dummies as in idiots, not as in soothers you give to babies. For me, I think of cryptographic nonces when I hear the word lol That’s a much more recent use, apparently “number used once” but I suspect it falls under “they knew”.
