I've heard people use nonce as a term of insult, but I never actually knew what it meant

I thought it just meant idiot or something oh wow what a blunder

Well that is quite unfortunate, I've always thought it had that rough usage/meaning as well

Oh, really? Can you give me a source for the idiot definition?
I swear, the times I've heard this word used was more in the lines of being a synonym for idiot

From what I gathered from a basic talk with Mister Google, the above definition is sometimes considered archaic, and the term is occasionally used colloquially for an "idiot" or a derogative for a homosexual or flowery man. So I guess not everyone's in agreement on how nonce is meant to be used.
