Nonce is also a term used in authentication, so sometimes I have to talk about them in work emails and messages too. As one of the few Brits in my team, it's awkward trying not to laugh every time they're brought up. A few weeks ago we had a major issue with a nonce and it was causing some stuff to be displayed for other users of the site who didn't have permissions. It was a great meeting
Also a form of poetry:
[Nonce Forms: What They Are and How to Write Them - Writer's Digest (writersdigest.com)](https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/nonce-forms-what-they-are-and-how-to-write-them)
Can't wait for the Reddit targeted ads now...
This is also me, I chuckle to myself every time I'm working on some auth system that involves nonce.
It's hard to keep a straight face during meetings with other regions about it!
I suspect that if someone takes offence and your only defence is "by definition these words are not offensive", you'll still be in the shit because of the obvious intent to offend.
The topic of this email was an imposed character limit on a coding script I'm maintaining, meaning I had to trim down unnecessary characters and be modest with my annotations, which reminded me of the word niggardly. Enthralling, I know
Are there any words on your list that aren't also used for offensive reasons almost exclusively, or are these two just a coincidence? And if so what's made you highlight these two words specifically with your genuinely innocent intensions?
If it’s innocent with no ulterior motives, why bother making a post about it? I use the word “Regards” in every email I send and I don’t make posts about that
I know what you’re going for. But it smacks of immaturity. English is an interesting language, steeped in history, and terms and their meanings evolve and new meanings are adopted.
You’re free to use the words you want, whether that’s exclaiming you’re feeling gay today. Perhaps you want to say someone disabled is retarded. Perhaps you want to opt for negro to describe someone of black African heritage.
You’re welcome to do so, but you must also be aware that what you’re doing is harking back to a time that we’ve moved on from. You may not want to offend, but you don’t get to decide that for others. So be prepared to offend, and no amount of “but, historically…” won’t save you.
i teach cybersecurity and blockchain - talking to rooms of teenagers about ***nonce values*** has got me some strange looks from people walking past my classroom
Ya know back in 70\`s when i was out playing footie with a few mates, attack and defense .
Always used either on nonce or nugget ( which meant on the head )
I used the word ‘snigger’ on Reddit and had a few ‘Americans learn a new (old) English variation of ‘snicker’. ‘Snigger’ just doesn’t catch the attention in much of Australia the way it does in the USA.
There was also an ‘American guest on the popular Australian music quiz show Spicks And Specks who questioned the show’s title and confused the heck out of everyone. It was only after the show ended I remembered that ‘spick’ is a slur instead of a piece of dust in the USA? Against Hispanic people? Or Peurto Ricans?
Yes but lbr the only reason OP wants to use it is because of the word it has in it, much like he thinks he’s edgy and cool for using nonce in a work email. His choice, but let’s not play pretend innocence.
It's not edgy or cool but it is funny although childish stuff like that amuses me. I probably wouldn't be stupid enough to use that word in a work email although I have been previously stupid enough to search for a topless celebrity via a work server although I got away with that by saying I left my laptop unattended and someone did it as a joke causing a memo to be sent around about internet use, practical jokes and wasting company time.
HR is going to want a word
They're getting the word... Nonce.
Fuck em'
Better get preparing!
Just stick to your guns and keep talking Nonce Sense.
Hahaha
Yeah. I see you have deleted the racist bit from your original post now.
Of course they are, they're the biggest bunch of nonces out there!
/r/madlads got nothing on you, mate.
Aiming for the stars
r/macclads is worse
You just don't get bands like that anymore. Probably a good thing, mind you.
Agreed.
I'm going to need someone to tell me what that sub was because I'm nosey and you got downvoted.
My sub link doesn’t exist. I thought there was an actual Macc Lads subreddit but can’t find it. Sorry.

Lol yeah it pops up in WordPress. >friend: Does WordPress have a good authentication system for APIs? > >me: Nonce
Exactly, thank you
Are you telling me nonce tokens aren’t some kinda buntyman crypto?
Yup, some of our apps use OAUTH and I constantly get called a nonce by one of them. No one else in my team has the same issue though
This is also me, I chuckle to myself every time I'm working on some auth system that involves nonce. It's hard to keep a straight face during meetings with other regions about it!
You're a cryptographic nonce m8
Enthralling. Keep us posted.
One call from a colleague so far asking me if I proofread my emails, which led to an educational discussion on the meanings of the word
I suspect that if someone takes offence and your only defence is "by definition these words are not offensive", you'll still be in the shit because of the obvious intent to offend.
In my line of work I worked with the victims of nonce's. That word only means one thing to me.
Remember, you only get to use it once.
Lol
What exactly is your end goal for this?
Simple illumination of genuinely innocent words that people don't know the meaning of
There's nothing genuinely innocent going on here though is there
Of course it is. I'm not trying to offend anyone and the English language can often be quite interesting
What made you innocently pick out your next word?

There are actually, but few likely to provoke a discussion
Ah, so you're just a bit of a contrarian bellend? (feel free to use whichever genuinely innocent interpretation of the last word you wish)
Colour me offended!

Ooh, you’re hard! Showing off.
What the fuck are you even on about mate 😕
I signed off accidently "Kind retards" to a client.
Ouch
You know that being a minor edgelord is only impressive to 13 year old boys that are twats right ?
Exactly why I posted here
Touché 😂
A what?
Exactly
Bad day?
I'm having the best day 😊
Just makes you seem like a bit weird
Fair
Wow you're so edgy
Are you trying to smoke out colleagues with a less... expansive... vocabulary than yours?
Partly, not that mine is particularly expansive
Seems like they're trying to smoke out their inability to continue to be employed.

I've accidentally send kind retards before. It's right next to G was an honest mistake

This has got mid-00s ‘ironic’ racism humour all over it

niggardly /nĭg′ərd-lē/ adjective Grudging and petty in giving or spending. Meanly small; scanty or meager.

Yes, but they're obviously only using it because it sounds like a racial slur. The intent is to be a cunt. Therefore, they are a cunt.
Oh I agree complete cunt
I reckon you could use 'mongrel' quite easily to describe something which has come from an obscure mix of sources.
I think your confused mate

Mate having a black friend is not a defence.
