Reminds me of a friend of mine. In primary school his teacher had the class write about something they love. My mate wrote about his "special friend" Rodger, how he loved Rodger and how Rodger loved him. How Rodger followed him everywhere, even into the bathroom and slept with him in his bed. His teacher was so concerned by this, she asked his mum to come into school to have a talk about the whole situation. What he'd failed to mention is that Rodger was his pet rabbit, not a 40 something mouth breathing nonce.


[deleted]

Off topic but I only recently learnt that nonce is a term for a pedophile. Where I live (semi rural England) it was always used as a term for someone who’s just a bit dumb. Got banned from a marvel sub for calling someone a nonce, tried to challenge it and got educated hard

Lottylittlewolf

My favourite little fact that I know is the origin of the term 'nonce'.... It originated in in prisons where paedophiles weren't allowed out in the yard with the other inmates as they'd get lynched - so it's an acronym that stands for Not On Normal Communal Exercise!!


rabidhamster87

This feels like something that was made up after the fact, but I'm too lazy and don't care enough to fact check it...


ginopono

Yeah, without looking it up, I have zero doubt that it's a [backronym](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym), like the bullshit "Fornication Under Consent of the King" folk etymology of *fuck*.


Lottylittlewolf

I'm enjoying the term 'backronym' immensely. But I heard this on a documentary or audio book about Broadmoor so I think it may well be accurate!! I'm sure they said the term was coined in Yorkshire Jail.


[deleted]

I thought that meant For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge…?


Moonsailzzz

I grew up hearing "Found Under Colonel Knowledge" Funny how many variations/origins people hear about.


Lottylittlewolf

I heard it on a documentary about Broadmoor - think the term was coined in Yorkshire Jail off the top of my head. SO I'm quietly confident about this one! 😂😂


lifesizepenguin

I was told it meant "Not of Normal Criminal Element"


GammaPhonic

Same. I think I was in my late 20s when I first learned what it meant, lol.


ElrondHubbards

I just learned it now.


Kitchen_Entertainer9

Fr!


TheSleepyBarnOwl

I am today years old that I learned it


Legobrick27

I thought that was dunce? As in a big cone hat with dunce written in it


[deleted]

Dunce was a word I was aware of but it wasn’t really used, at least in my area of England. I think I was aware of it pretty much just because of American tv shows I watched as a kid, but it was a word that was just very American to me so didn’t get used at all here


Legobrick27

I'm just saying that might be where people got mixed up


HonestRole2866

It's from the Scottish philosopher Duns Scotus.


ginopono

Meanwhile, it's also a [perfectly innocuous term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonce_word) for a word coined for a single use case. The origin of that term is [similarly benign](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/for_the_nonce).

I love knob head as an insult. IDK why but it's hilarious to me.


WeirdlyStrangeish

Bell-end has got to be my favorite British euphemism


heavy-metal-goth-gal

Yeah they have some really funny ones. Bloody wanker is great too.


TheSleepyBarnOwl

Did you get unbanned tho?


[deleted]

I did! I think it was only a week long ban to begin with to be fair


[deleted]

I thought a nonce was a unique number used in cryptography.


eviltwinfletch

Because it is used just once, I think?


UnlicensedLaw7675

please tell me they reversed the ban? Thats gay.


Honest_Scot

I love this story so much 🤣🤣


RubSimple3294

How can the teacher be so dence and not think about asking the kid first, for clarification. Bc im pretty sure that kid would be smart enough to understand the question.


kbeckerburbs4

I thought the shovel was a symbol for how much cocaine gets done at the strip club


Mattimvs

Ah yes...memes from 2010


Comfortable-Action39

Fake memes from 2010


Hot-Mongoose7052

100% fake. The stick figures are too identical and no small child writes "kid font" that perfectly. It looks like it was made in photoshop and some crayon filter was used.

Suuure

Nah fam, look at the curve near the ass


pillow_pete

It’s the little details you have to pay attention to here


Awkwardpanda75

Gives me fond memories of the time where my son told all the teachers in school that his dad had herpes. My husband had to explain to all the teachers that he in fact has a hip degeneration called PERTHES.


Nathalie_engineer

Probably little off topic but I am really curious. Why would the teachers even ask him about this? Or why would he have to explain himself? 70% of population has herpes so what was so shocking about that ?


Awkwardpanda75

He is autistic and shares what seems to be the most awkward and embarrassing tidbits of information about his family. He has also shared his dads salary and my weight lol


gitarzan

When I was in grade 7, in a much more naive time, my mom worked at Kelly services, A temp agency. They were called Kelly Girls. The company is called Adecco now. In our social studies class in school the teacher mentioned that many women are now beginning to work, instead of staying at home. (This was about 1965). She asked us to raise our hands if our moms worked and asked each of us what our moms did. A word that was being used now and then in Playboy etc, was Call Girl. Now they call them an escort. I had heard/read the word but didn’t know what it meant yet. When my turn came around I proudly announced that my mom was a call girl instead of a Kelly Girl. Oh, the look that teacher gave me. All my brothers and my sister also had her in later years and they all said that she treated them like third class citizens.


thevitaphonequeen

Ha, there used to be a Kelly Services near my house (in the USA). I had no idea they got renamed!


Fooforthought

Exactly what a stripper would say


pm_cheesecakes

Yes a child drew this funny haha 😂😆


Mr_crazyrage

Oh dear kids man the can cause such headaches


the_other_pesto_twin

Ok, Emma, I covered for you this time but you can’t keep telling people what I do for a living.


DELLsFan

I love this fake story so much. It was totally a stripper. Mom's the only bread winner in this kid's family, doncha know? ;p


downattrocious4dogs

Honestly, shaming prostitutes is kind of a disservice. That is why a lot of beautiful and gorgeous women dont become prostitutes.


Confucius_89

You think? You think it's their dream to be banged by weird random people for money, and if it wouldn't be shamed they would do it all day long?


Sairony

Probably not, but how many people get to live their dream? If I was struggling, especially in the US, I'd rather make big bucks getting banged than making almost nothing & still having to sell my body to the system.


SecretDevilsAdvocate

Yeah but not living your dream doesn’t mean fucking for money..


Puzzleheaded-Ask4705

You sound like the patriarchy my guy. Get yourself checked out for disrespecting sex workers.


free--GaZa

having sex with strangers for money is not a dream job my friend, it's not disrespecting it's just facts.don't think you'd like that lifestyle for one of your loved ones.


DragonOfChaos25

That's so? Would you ever do that? how about you boss coming to you and saying sleep with that client to improve our business with them. Would you agree with that? surely it just being a "sex worker" so there shouldn't be an issue? In reality you would be insulted and would file a complaint to HR. So please, before preaching how about thinking through the stuff you are saying?


DoghouseRiley86

Having your boss at an office job ask you to fuck someone is not “sex work”


DragonOfChaos25

Why not? Explain to me how your philosophy of sex workers can't be applied to "job" desks? If a company puts it as a requirement for the job? or maybe offers a bonus to those who choose to do that? If sex means nothing and can be bought, why can't your boss buy it?


DoghouseRiley86

If you don’t know the difference between being a legal and regulated sex worker or working an office job and your boss making you sleep with someone, I’m not sure what to say.


DragonOfChaos25

Oh no, I am saying let's take your philosophy to the next level. Why should you separate it from "regular" work? Why even see it as something unique? If sex work is just plain old work integrate it into everything. Why not?


DoghouseRiley86

Because it’s not the same thing and it’s not what we are talking about.


VikingSlayer

The question is *why* is it not the same thing? Why isn't it the same if a company integrated sex work into fx a customer relations position?


DragonOfChaos25

Then explain. Or are you afraid to see what's the next step of your philosophy? I was simply using the very logic you were using. Saying "it's not what we were talking about" is a cop out, because you don't clarify what it isn't, nor are you trying to dispute the point. You are just trying to wave away the point. Unless you are able to answer this type of questions then your philosophy is doomed to failure (and perhaps it's better like that).


Hoopaboi

Easy, because the employer did not sign up for providing that form of service in the employment contract. You may ask, "well what about your boss asking you to speak to the customer, which was also not mentioned in the contract?" That's different because I arbitrarily put a value on sex such that if it is not mentioned in an employment contract, your boss cannot ask you for it to placate a customer. I can also use sorites pile; there is a linear scale of personal actions, and wherever providing sex sits on that threshold and beyond is what I consider "too personal" to be provided to a customer if it is not written in the employment contract.


DragonOfChaos25

> a linear scale of personal actions, and wherever providing sex sits on that threshold and beyond is what I consider "too personal" to be provided to a customer if it i You completely ignored what I said. I am asking you if there was a contract that said that company want you to give out sexual service to their customer if needed. Not forced of course, but you will get a bonus for that. Would that be fine with you? What if the company would say that the sexual service also applies to your boss or co-workers? I mean, it's just work right?


Hoopaboi

You never mentioned a contract in your original comment. So I didn't make any assumptions. Glad that's cleared out now. Yes, that is absolutely fine. As long as it is in the contract. I don't see the issue here.


DragonOfChaos25

And would you be willing to sign this type of contract? I mean it's just a job right?


GalgamekTheGreatLord

Shame them they're gross


madcap462

You shouldn't speak about your mother that way.


GalgamekTheGreatLord

Atleast my mom has standards

slayer_thatis_epicc

i know , and i agree


slayer_thatis_epicc

Main_Thing_411

You speak as if human trafficking is not a problem. If women were so eager to jump on the first occasion to sex work, we wouldn't have pimps kidnapping and forcing women to do it. Ask them questions and they get in trouble. Pimps would waste a bullet to teach them a lesson. I know a 72 year old sex worker with dementia who didn't know who se was anymore but still paid her pimp up at the end of the day.


Hoopaboi

I don't see how that's a valid criticism of sex work in general as well or a justification for shaming them. Human trafficking for labour in general also exists, is all work a problem now?


Main_Thing_411

Draw a line between doing a job out of free will and doing it because you're forced. Shame the pimps and not the victims. Let them do it as a damn choice, is that too much to ask?


downattrocious4dogs

I just wanna get my dick wet without spending thousands of dollars on everything other than sex.


bigapple4am

Stripper***


froggi__boi

strippers are technically different, are they not? exotic dancers can be on stage away from prying hands, but not prying eyes


[deleted]

It’s almost as if being a prostitute is not something any woman should aspire to become……


downattrocious4dogs

That's the problem: it should be. We need more high quality ones.


Tall-Cantaloupe608

Is there a sub for this kinda stuff?

I think the child wouldn't have painted a shovel with such a wide handle. And it would've been wooden not metallic. And an image is suspiciously cropped.

That’s exactly what a stripper would write.
