        I don’t appreciate being called a child molestor.

          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.

            That’s dunce, ya dunce!

            Edit: or nong. Don’t make a portmanteau of them.

      @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?
