This was cited by the reddit admins as the reason they have just banned my account, instantly for this single thing, I've never had any other problems on the account.
It was a joke. A funny one at that.
It is absurd because "nonce" is barely a bad word. Equivalent to "dummy" or "shite".
Reddit is so shit.
EDIT: My appeal just got rejected. Landlords are officially an immutable identity akin to lgbt people and gender according to reddit. Also "nonce" being equivalent to "wanker" is apparently meaningless to them.
I'm quite annoyed.
Yeah it's possible to be honest. I am going by how my dad's family used it and quite a few of them were in prison at one point or another.
Slang is hard to pin down I guess. I've heard a tonne of ideas about where the word chav comes from.
