Thank you.
It’s late in the day and my brain is full. Now I’m wondering over the difference between a cryptographic nonce and a hapax legomenon.
A nonce is only used once. A hapax legomen is only found once.
Ahhh. Thank you.
I was familiar with the cryptographic term, but also the “silly idiot” meaning you are talking about. I’m American, but I probably encountered the latter in British TV. The child molester/sex offender meaning is new to me.
I wonder if ol’ Baader-Meinhof is gonna visit me this week.
