Australian voices really aren't what they used to be. Linguists and ABC presenters weigh in on the changes to Aussie voices and the death of the ABC accent.

            Fuck, sorry mate. Didn’t realise that’s what it meant. I’ve only heard it used as an old equivalent for “idiot”. Only wanted to have some banter.

        @Marsupial @jagungal now I’m curious if this is a misunderstanding about the regional differences of the word “nonce”.

          I googled it and didn’t find another usage of it.

          Unless they meant dunce?
