            Fuck, sorry mate. Didn’t realise that’s what it meant. I’ve only heard it used as an old equivalent for “idiot”. Only wanted to have some banter.

        @Marsupial @jagungal now I’m curious if this is a misunderstanding about the regional differences of the word “nonce”.

          I googled it and didn’t find another usage of it.

          Unless they meant dunce?
