What is nonce meaning uk?

Nonce is a slang term used in the UK that originated in prisons and has since spread to broader usage. It is often used to describe someone who has been convicted of a sexual offense against children, and is therefore a derogatory term. The term originally meant "a person serving a sentence for a first-time offence," but has since taken on a more specific and negative connotation. The use of the term can be considered offensive and inappropriate, and is generally avoided in polite company. In recent years, there have been efforts to find alternative ways to refer to individuals who have committed sexual offenses against children, such as referring to them as "people who have committed sexual offenses."
