@very-rusty saidit also means a one off, a word coined for one occasion it also means as I said earlier a stupid and worthless person, that about sums Dive up in my opinion. check it out
In the United Kingdom and Australia, the term nonce sometimes spelled "nonse" is a slang word used to refer to a sex offender and/or child sexual abuser.

@badradger saidSo, after a few pages of standing behind the common interpretation as described by myself and Very Rusty … you are now backing away from it, is that right?

@divegeester saidThe word was especially used in the phrase for the nonce, meaning "for the one purpose," as in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Prologue" of Canterbury Tales: "A cook they hadde with hem for the nones To boille the chiknes with the marybones."
Don’t back away from what you said “tougher than me” guy.
I am sure this is the definition badge was alluding to. 🙄

@badradger saidOh you…what are you tough guys on the internet like!
not quite but along those lines.like stupid & worthless .
Why didn’t you say this several pages ago, right at the start instead of letting us all believe you meant child sex abuser?
Gosh I feel so silly right now, thinking you meant pedophile when you actually meant “stupid and worthless”.
@the-gravedigger saidI’m sure it was, in fact I’m sure that badradger felt quite upset when he realised that I thought he was calling me a pedophile.

He might be “tougher than me”, in fact I’m sure he is because he’s quite intimidating online, but I’m relieved to know that he would never say a thing like that.

@divegeester saidyour still a nonce
Well, that’s that almost sorted out completely. I just need Very Rusty to clear up those questions I asked him on the previous page and we are good to go.
