I just learned what "nonce" meant in british slang. Makes talking about calculating a nonce in postman and scripting kinda weird now.

This is why it always throws me when it's casually mentioned for requests etc 😅

The opposite is true though for what you all call cigarettes vs american cigarettes....you'll probably get thrown in prison these days if you use it here

It's a sort of 50/50 dicey word to use over here these days really. You'd have to be quite clear on the context. Then again a lot of dodgy slurs are still casually thrown around here anyways...
