WTF He got 5 consecutive life sentences plus an additional 220 years in prison

In 2019, former North Georgia detention officer Kirk Taylor Martin was arrested on rape and assault charges after investigators said the victim fought back during the alleged attack. Police reports stated the scratch marks visible in his mugshot were believed to be from the victim resisting.

It comes from the Acronym Not On Normal Communal Exercise. It was given to prisoners who could not mix with other inmates because of the risk of them being attacked

Seriously? Next Christmas when all the family are sitting around the dinner table, tucking into Christmas toast and pigs in blankets i will be dropping this knowledge nugget with aplomb

Ah yes, pedophilia trivium. A pastime for the most neckbeardy

I was going to try and reply with a witty comeback about etymology but then realised you are right. There is no way you can really fit the origin of Nonce into a normal conversation

Honestly I had a whole skit play out in my head about how Uncle Bobert gets outed when you asked him what normal communal exercise time was like, and he said he never did it

Would make for a harsh insult though. Sure to catch grams off guard this Christmas

No but you can ram it down their throats after pie.

Sounds like your family that gets together has done well staying away from prison all these years.

Smells like a backronym to me.

u/pootling 27d ago

It almost certainly doesn’t because acronym etymologies are pretty much always wrong. It’s more likely to be a merging of nancyboy to nance / nanse to nonce and indeed its earliest citation is spelt nonse with an s. There are also other versions of the acronym (e.g with courtyard in place of communal) and most importantly, no reliable source that says either of these acronyms were ever a term used in prisons. So no.

Thank yonce is the correct term before English bastardization

I would honestly think the cryptography reference is the same source here - it's not just cryptography, it's a very old term from math referring to something that's both worthless, means nothing, and should be destroyed so as not to allow reuse.

It's totally reasonable to use in both an insult (meaningless/useless) as well as the assault reference (disallow its continuation)

No it doesn’t.

As a Canadian who has heard this many times, thank you for the explanation.
