For the *****

I get your meaning, but ***** has an exceptionally negative connotation in the UK. Suggest changing it

This Yank appreciates the heads up. I don’t think I have ever used the word, but I thought it meant “idiot”.

It’s weird, because it has legitimate meaning in the world of cryptography… but… over here, in casual use…

Now that was not a slang term I expected...

Thanks!

 

[UnquietDreams]

What a view I'm more than a little bit jealous!

I have some more posted in the "my view right now" thread if you are interested.

Oh, wow
Looked it up

I'm of a different opinion when it comes to changing these things. Cultural context aside, this was a good learning that many people miss out on when we edit.

Love that you had the presence of mind to recognize there was a likely cultural disparity

Now I really want to know what the word was….

 

[UnquietDreams]

Now I really want to know what the word was….

Nonce. "For this one purpose," except not now. UK, you ruined a perfectly cromulent Shakespearean word!

 

[HollyS]

Now I really want to know what the word was….

Nonce. Been in use from Middle English times, but now means a pedophile in UK slang.

UnquietDreams used it in the traditional sense, obviously!

I know!

I'd use it if I wanted, but I have a tendency to... push back, shall we say.

I get you… I’m a fan of the original meaning… but fuck me if The Internet doesn’t always take things the wrong way… and it’s only fair to suggest that things aren’t misconstrued for no reason

 

[Biggalute]

I wasn't sure what word it was either, it wasn't that widely used until 10-15 years ago, then in a few gangsterish movies and took off.

But, as with many derogatory terms its also used amongst friends as an almost friendly slag off.

True! Anyway, how you doing, you caaahhhnt?

I think it's good to point out there are culturally different usages. I'm just opposed to giving up on the original usage just because it's slang now, internet be damned.

But then I'm sassy and hard-headed.

I can tell we are going to be friends

 

[Biggalute]

I'm good. I once came second in a 'whose the biggest caaahhhnt' competition.
When I asked why I only came second, they said,
'Because you're a caaahhhnt'

Thanks, it was at Gala. I wish I had pics of the dress, too. But they're gone, died with my old phone
