• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

I wonder how Barton is feeling after seeing this?
 
Fool and their money easily parted and all that 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Well I wouldn't like to test the water with it.. But on the other hand, the words Barton used, I feel has diluted the actual insult, Take for example if someone called a person a wanka, or a bus wanka, now a wanka would be considered offensive on it's own, but a bus wanka is just someone catching a bus. For me this with Barton is very similar,

The way I see this insult Barton used at Vine, I see it as calling him the lowest of the low bike rider, I don't see it as calling him a child sex offender.
If he meant to call him the lowest of the low then he should have used those exact words. Using the ones he did is why he's in a spot of bother. At the end of the day if he plays with fire at some point he's got to expect to get his fingers burnt.

If someone were to call you something similar would you take the same viewpoint?
 
Has anyone bothered to look in the dictionary for the definition of ‘nonce’?

I think it was the 1960s it used to mean a bit of a sissy.

You’re thinking of ponce I reckon 🤣 nonce is a prison acronym I believe.

You are correct. It’s a word used to deceive a sex offender, particularly those who commit offences with children. It is a word associated with prison.

No I meant: Not on Normal Courtyard Exercise.

Which is a reference to be placed on a segregated wing in prison due to their crimes against children.
 
“1975. Unknown, derived from British criminal slang. Several origins have been proposed; possibly derived from dialectal nonce, nonse (“stupid, worthless individual”) (but this cannot be shown to predate nonce "child-molester" and is likely a toned-down usage of the same insult), or Nance, nance (“effeminate man, homosexual”), from nancy or nancyboy. The rhyme with ponce has also been noted.

As prison slang also said to be an acronym for "Not On Normal Communal Exercise" (Stevens 2012), but this is likely a backronym.”
