I could spend an hour googling then pretend I knew but that would be cheating and I'd probably only end up perpetuating a lie.<br /><br />No, you're right. Nonce can also mean to flounce around. <br /><br />Nonce passed its peak sometime in the 1960s and now possesses a mere shadow of its former potency. I also believe it got confused with nonse, as in nonsense, which has also confused its original meaning.<br /><br />As always, context is oh-so important. So, in an earlier post when I described myself as noncing down Kennington Park Road with my girlfriend's handbag, your definition is the appropriate one. On the other hand, Ronnie Kray was a nonce in the truest sense of the word (I can say that now he's dead).<br /><br />In that respect my post was incomplete, so thanks for that.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467757421113856218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-1108478639897613662005-02-15T14:43:00.000+00:002005-02-15T14:43:00.000+00:00Made you think twice?

That would have stopped anything happening wouldn't it. Would have made me think twice certainly.<br /><br />On the subject of Polari, I almost bought a Julian and Sandy CD lunchtime for a fiver, but eventually went with my second Derek and Clive purchase of the month instead, also for a fiver, which I will now listen to at work this afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
