For all my American friends, "nonce" is equivalent to "pedo".

I always thought it meant idiot or dunce. Glad I never used it, lol.

Appreciate it.

I kept seeing it like "Death to arbitrary numbers in Cryptography?"

I got to learn this after I started referring to a label at work as 'nonce' because of how it looked -- "NONC-3"

and THEN I found out the definition of the term

I knew the definition from way back and had a time when learning about cryptographic nonces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonce

Thank you, I struggled to look it up and find an answer that made any sense 😅
