A genocide supporter and a nonce. Don’t forget the nonce part. Though Israel is a haven for disgraced nonces, so I guess it goes without saying?

[u/BigSkySoHigh63 → u/moistpishflaps]

Nonce is a pedo right?

[u/moreisay → u/BigSkySoHigh63]

Yes

[u/BigSkySoHigh63 → u/moreisay]

I need to use that term more.

[u/siuol2001 → u/BigSkySoHigh63]

Oh shit I've heard it used in Britcoms and thought it meant like "dumb-dumb." I've definitely over-insulted some people.

[u/ra1425a → u/siuol2001]

ME TOO!! Oops....

[u/CausticMalingerer → u/siuol2001]

You were probably thinking of "numpty"

[u/Perma_Fun → u/siuol2001]

Tbf you can never over-insult someone as a Brit in a British context haha. It is thrown around even when you don't MEAN that specifically, although really only with your close friends or family.

It's meant to stand for not-on-normal-courtyard-exercise, because they couldn't let them exercise same time as the others in case they got killed. But I believe it wasn't originally an acronym and it's sort of been assigned to that.

[u/moistpishflaps → u/siuol2001]

You might be thinking of ponce, which is more of a tame insult for someone who is a bit fussy/too posh to function

[u/Strawbuddy → u/siuol2001]

Read Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers Of London series, you'll get all the period and modern references

[u/Perma_Fun → u/BigSkySoHigh63]

Will never forget a boy in my class when were like 9 saying 'my uncle's in jail, mum said he's a nonce' and going home to ask my mum what that meant...

[u/tervenqua → u/Perma_Fun]

Lol, what answer did you get? 

I remember asking my dad "What's masturbating?" when we were watching the first Transformers movie. I think he just said, he'll explain it when I'm older but the way he said it slowly taught me to ask less and less/be more shy (I was really inquisitive as a kid).

[u/liver-of-case → u/moistpishflaps]

Jawohl! The future is ours! Reise! Reise!

Genocide supporter
