See, here is an example of what "Ignore" does for you. Since Cyne couldn't handle my particular gentle dissent, he has put me on his list. Now he is doomed to go around repeating my jokes because he thinks he came up with it first. Sad, really. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
-
-
I was wondering what happened there.
-
-
On another thread, I responded to him while he was in the process of putting me on his list. He spends many of the next few posts claiming that no-one has responded.
People have no idea how much this makes them appear like nonces. -

what's a nonses

One genteman (and I use the term loosely) put me on ignore because I gave him two claps on a poem when he thought he deserved three.
-
-
I can only imagine how badly you probably wanted to give him the clap.
-
that was me

No it wasn't you nonce!

In Australia we use the word in a good natured way to describe someone who is a dunce or acting the fool.

I have some mods on another forum doing that right now
-
it's a shame
I take care of their writing corner
but they insist on defacing me with overly long titles
I guess they don't care if the still exist in two years -

"Defacing me with overly long titles".
Could be the line of a poem Matt!
-

In England it's a child sex abuser, crikey see the difference with Austrailia's as you said arafura a dunce or acting the fool.
It's easy to see how someone in England would get upset if you called them a nonce. Like such different meanings to the word. -
-
nonce
I'm not even sure how to pronounce the word
I use shag in one of my poems
when I wrote it,
I wasn't aware it meant fuck in england.
I didn't change it though.
When I recite that poem,
I enjoy stretching across that word out like a piece of carpet -
-
Yes I can see where your coming from by streching the words. But I am amazed at the contrast of meaning in the interpretation of the word acording to the country we may live in.
In the Prison System in the UK to call someone a nonce would literally get your head kicked in.
You could be beaten up and ferociously if someone accused you of being a nonce.
-
-
don't you put the dirt on me
well
I'm not much of an a accuser
so
-
-
No one has put any dirt on you at all. Where on earth have you got that from?
YOU, yourself wrote the interpretation from wilkipedia.org and it's different meanings.
See YOUR second sentance from the end and what you wrote regards the slang for the word.
All I have said is I was amazed at the differances in the meanings of the word in different countries.
And how the word applied in the UK. No one called you an accuser at all.
I was only relating how serious the meaning of that word is taken in the U.K.

some other mods on another board
are defacing me with overly long not so clever titles
it's a shame since I help out their writers corner.
I guess they don't care if they're still around in two years -
-
It would seem that way. Don't let them get to you.
-
-
I hate to see them die
-
-
I understand that.
-
-
they won't die
but I can't be part of a group with members that abuse me -

I hear you!

omg, I'm lmao over this thread! I must have missed it when I was traveling earlier this week... I just looked up nonces and there is no such plural in dictionary.com but a nonce is "–noun
the present, or immediate, occasion or purpose (usually used in the phrase for the nonce).*
I think we should all put the scrambled adder on block as a parlor game to see how often any of us repeat his humor. LOL. Especially since we won't even be aware of it. How perfect is that?
-
-
Thanks for dropping by.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nonce
Definition number three would require a plural form, I believe. Of course, you will tell me if I am wrong, won't you?
Scrambled Adder - that's cute. Did you think of that yourself? You must be exhausted. -
-
Thank you for posting this definition of how the word is used in the UK.
My comment of August 5th.

So, you dropped in just to correct me? I am flattered. If only you were so quick to admit once in a while that you are wrong. That's okay, the evidence is all over these board.
Incidentally, some weeks ago you accused me of hating rhyme (untrue, and nothing I ever said) because I couldn't. I sent you a link to a few of my meager rhymed efforts and I have been quite dismayed that you were so willing to make that judgement, yet you have not even visited one of my pieces.
It might hurt too much for you to be proved wrong, yet again, so I really can't fault you for your reticence. Does this happen to you frequently? That must severely inhibit your reading. -
Oh, I see. You have copied Cynewulf by taking a shot at me and then putting me on ignore. How precious.
-
"I think we should all put the scrambled adder on block as a parlor game to see how often any of us repeat his humor. LOL. Especially since we won't even be aware of it. How perfect is that?"
There is much of which you seem unaware. And by ignoring me, you will be part of a very small group of, yes, nonces.
-
-
is this ignore or a grab for attention?
-
-
Yes.

nonce
abstracted from phrase for þe naness (c.1200) "for a special occasion, for a particular purpose," itself a misdivision of for þan anes "for the one," in reference to a particular occasion or purpose, the þan being from O.E. dative def. article þam. The phrase used from c.1315 as an empty filler in metrical composition. Hence, nonce-word "word coined for a special occasion," 1954.

If you look in the slang dictionary, you will find quite a bit more. I have heard the word from Brit and Aussie friends - never as a pedophile, though. I have heard it bandied about much like friends will call each other "idiot" or "dumbshit".
(And, of course, it goes without saying that I was using it as slang - so a slang dictionary would be the best place to look.) -

Interesting. I am interested in etymology, and love to find new words - in this case, a really old word that has taken on a new meaning.
I was wondering why you used a 'word coined for a special occasion' that didn't seem to mean anything insulting - but my wonder has, for the nonce, disappeared!
