Still cheaper than attending the reform party conference.

Pretty sure you can get the same experience from doing a tour of the White House.
At first I thought they've opened the Epstein island for the public tours...
Don't paedophiles also deserve to go on zoo tours?
Could we use them as a food source?
There’s a famous 4chan text about being a kid and seeing Arnold’s Predator film and getting an Xbox for Christmas that year and sets up their Xbox ID as “Child_Predator” or something similar.

You need to apply for a job at the Daily Mail. That would go down very well with their readers.
Funnily enough I’ve been anti-Daily Mail since… (checks notes)… about 95-ish years ago when they got into bed with Moseley.
To be honest, feeding nonces too (imprisoned) wild animals would probably get the tabloid vote.
It would depend if they were "foreign", "gay" or "lefty" nonces, or if they were "good, upstanding wealthy conservative pillars of the community who have been misunderstood and unfairly represented" nonces.
This is automation. They have their website software set up to automatically take the title of whatever tour/service, and have the page split ticket sales by age group. The other week you might've seen "Child Herbivore Tours", or "Adult Penguin Feeding".
Yeah that comma seems out of place.
Pedo, nonce, those are words used in the UK, child predator is more American imho. (Although it's well understood here)
What? Is that what nonce means? From context I thought it was just like "dumbass" or something!
Yes but to be fair we also call each other child molesters somewhat casually
Nonce apparently comes from nonsense…
“What are you in (prison) for?”
“Ach, man. A bit of nonsense.”
Not On Normal Communal Experience
It's prison slang
That's absolutely a backronym
I don't think there's a K in bacronym because it's short for barely a causal relationship of numerous yucky morphemes
Mebbies?
I used to think 'twocced' was slag for stolen but it's from Taken Without Owners Consent which is definitely a police term
yeah twoc/twocced/twoccing is a legit acronym. I realised that the supposed acronym for nonce is "Not on Normal Communal Exercise" rather than "Experience" which makes more sense in the prison context. It can be hard to be sure of word's origin, but in these cases:
- On TWOC, the police actually charge people with "taking without owner's consent". You can find the source of the words in the relevant Act.
- On Nonce, I don't think anyone has ever heard anyone refer to someone as "not on normal communal exercise" - it's an awkward phrase - why is it referring specifically to exercise rather than something more general - "Not in Communal Accommodation" - NICA? "Isolated for own safety" - IFOS? It stretches believability in the supposed source phrase in a way that TWOC doesn't. The earliest attestation of the theory I could find is also from 2012 but the word has been around longer.
Around here the word "goof" has started to mean that in prison slang, and so it's been kinda weird seeing two rough guys yelling at each other with full seriousness "you're a fuckin goof! ", "I'm not the goof, you're the fuckin goof!"
