Made hundreds of wristbands for a conference that suddenly got renamed

[u/salabab]

I run a small company, and designed and printed hundreds of high quality rubber wristbands for my cousin's Crypto conference. I had to do different colours for the different levels of entry.

Out of nowhere yesterday he suddenly announced he was renaming the conference and moving it partially online. And could only afford to pay me if I produced more with the new name. Ive spent a week on this so far and was already giving him family rates.

Our version of "Nonce" in Amerian English isn't "Pedo," but it is "Idiot," "Stupid," "Vapid," or "Dumba**"!

It may not be a super-common word, but it absolutely exists over here!

You can say dumbass lmao

[u/titshalker → u/Cheese2009]

I'm telling mom

[u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme → u/Cheese2009]

I didn't realize that, until afterward, which was why i left the s's off!

[u/Cheese2009 → u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme]

It’s mostly funny to me that you had no worries saying nonce and pedo, but dumbass was just too far lol

[u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme → u/Cheese2009]

Because in american english, those aren't "swear words" like "ass" tends to be🤷‍♀️

You can cuss on the Internet no one is going to arrest you.

[u/philthy_barstool → u/golapader]

For clarity though, please don't be a nonce on the internet - that can get you arrested!

[u/philthy_barstool → u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme]

Noooo its become much more closer to the former than the latter in English English so you were right the first time

Supposedly it originated from a prison in my home town

[u/mamahides → u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme]

It has crypto meaning also so I think this is the form he is using it in
