Probably unrelated to this, but 'nonce' is a concept in cryptography (not the cryptocurrency-kind), a number used only once in a cryptographic operation.
Apart from the colloquial British use, that is.
nonce did used to be an English word too meaning "of/at the moment" or "for one purpose" so Number used Once is actually a backronym
It derived from Middle English was "tō þen naness" which is roughly "best item for a purpose" literally, but is used to mean "something" or "disposable/temporary" in context.
As someone from the UK who works in software engineering, the combination of meanings is always hilarious
Thank you for explaining, I only know nonce being used to refer to someone as a pedo so Noncefest certainly raised an eyebrow. I can only assume this guy was unaware of the meaning.
The slang term for pedophile is only used in the UK, hence the Americans keep doing this.
We need to bring it to our own lexicon. It packs a punch. 😂
thank you i had to look up the british slang now, as I could only think of the cryptographic association
See, I never knew that. I wondered what kind of weird convention this is. 😂
