American here. If you don't mind me asking, what does this meme mean?
Right where to start?
So, as mentioned in this post, the first of many, a well-known and highly-paid BBC presenter has, according to reports coming from The Sun (a British muck-racing tabloid with zero morals or conscience, which may or may not be relevant), been paying tens of thousands of pounds to a teenager for nude pictures. The kid then spent it on drugs.
As this... "arrangement" went back to when the teenager was 17, if nude photos were sent before their 18th birthday then it would count as a sex offence (at least according to commentary I've read from.other news sources: you can have sex at 16 but you can't send nude photos until you are 18). "Nonce" is British slang for a sex offender.
Various presenters have been scrambling to say it wasn't them as they are in work on Monday but the joke suggests anyone not gainfully employed by the BBC this week might be a bit nervous.
Wait what? Nonce is a term for sex offender?? Maybe you mean to say it’s a slang that can mean pedo?
I’ve heard Brits call dummies nonces too. For me, I think of cryptographic nonces when I hear the word lol
Until this day I had never seen this term before....time for the Brits to mold it into a cracker of an insult.
and yeah nonce means pedo here; depending on the surrounding swear words
I thought 'dog nonce' was an excellent and vicious insult.
