Um, you might want to make a little edit. “Nonce” is slang for “pedophile” in the UK.
Nonce (noun) paedophile
Nonce (verb) to act in the manner of a paedophile
Nonce (usage) “A fucking horrible nonce protected by the establishment.”
Oops, sorry, wrong picture…
And that’s just nonce sense
I’m looking forward to Devin’s inevitable
“It’s been one year since I (probably) accidentally asserted Mick Jagger is a pedophile”
Not On Normal Communal Excercise.
Acronymic
Convicted Paedo’s were segregated in prison excercise for their own safety.
Nonce (cryptography): a number that, once used, must never be re-used or it will break the security guarantee of the cryptosystem. “Once and only once.”
Formed from “n-once”.
I’m sure Little Richard thought the same about Mick.
But only one of them has had sex with David Bowie.
In other news, old man is annoyed younger man also likes lawns.
We all know that Mick Jagger was a total conformist when he started performing. He was a simple, clean cut guy. Right? … Right?
UK idiom disaster corrected!
This was my failure more than Devin’s, as I am the resident Bri’isher and the editor of this post.
Thank you, Rob.
I apologize to everyone on the board. That was not my intent with this article to defame or insult anyway. I only aim to entertain and share funny perspectives. I never try to attack.
I was aiming for the word ponce, which I had only heard contextually from Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I flubbed it. Big time flub.
I used to mimic Spike a lot as a teenager and grafted some of his words into my lexicon without ever looking them up. That is on me. Upon further inspection, the word “ponce” is derogatory as well.
I apologize if I offended anyone or brought shame on the site or the boards. BoingBoing means a lot to me and preserving its integrity is paramount. I can’t apologize enough for using such a terrible word.
I’m a big fan of Mick Jagger and I think Harry Styles is cool too. I would never try and ascribe such an awful term as the omitted one to them.
Maybe he confused him with Bill Wyman?
