You guys are giving me so much joy today......

I’ve been called many things over the years but I think nonce is a new one. I’ll just go ahead and assume it means gentleman.

[goosehd]

…it doesn’t. I had to look it up.

…Stranger danger

[jerkules]

UK prison slang/acronym for “Not on normal courtyard exercise”. Or so I’ve heard, might be BS.

[goosehd]

Might drive one of these is what I found on the interwebz…

@EdH and yeah I remember having a moment like that when I found out we were expecting a daughter with our first. Admittedly a way off from teenage years so might be jinxing it, but she’s into skater/baggy clothes and I genuinely hope (or deluded myself into thinking) that this will continue for the foreseeable.

My dad is a retired prison officer, served 35 years. I've asked him about this and he reckons it's bullshit, but in my head cannon it'll always be true, just too good an acronym...

I called my bin a nonce the other day, for being full.

Us Brits definitely use that term with reckless abandonment...

[AdamJ]

@jerkules that's the sort of thing if you told me convincingly enough I would definitely have believed!

[EdH]

@T4920 I can imagine the call: “dad, what’s a nonce?”

[T4920]

Uh, my favourite ever UHF just showed up on eBay for a steal... I've told myself no more shirts this year... An unnecessary purchase, especially coming into spring...

[SKT]

@T4920 i don’t see the problem. What does unnecessary mean?

[T4920]

@SKT I really shouldn't have posted here, y'all are like the devil on my shoulder whilst my wallet is praying I shalt not succumb to temptation...

[T4920]

Pahahaha, it sold whilst I was lamenting here... Probably for this best, but I'm kinda sad now!

[SKT]

Wasn’t meant to be…there will be another.

And another.

And another. You get the idea…

If you’re getting a good deal then your saving money. It’s responsible.

[sabergirl]

That’s always been my philosophy, Matt.
