Nonce

Originally an acronym of 'Not of Normal Criminal Element' used to label english prisoners convicted of sex offences involving minors, the word nonce has evolved over the years to also be used as a derogatory slang term for calling someone an idiot or a penis. For example,

"I asked for a Guinness and this is a Stella you fucking Nonce"

It has also started to be used as a replacement for the word 'fucking' when haste is needed. For example in a sentence like, 'Come on we're late, stop noncing about you slag'.

The latest meaning is much more innocent, it is simply a replacement for 'having a little look' or a 'mooch' around.

"Fancy grabbing a coffee and having a little nonce round the shops?"

"Can't we meet a bit later I wanted to have a nonce round Woolworths first you cunt!"

"Oi oi fucktard! Wanna walk down Holloway and have a nonce at what's on at the cinema?"

"Have a nonce at this!"
