For those who didn't understand this comment (like me)

Nonce is also British slang for alleged or convicted sex offenders, especially ones involving children.

That's why you should call them pervs (per-instance values).

Why not pedos (pedantic objects)?

Makes some discussions with non-technical stakeholders interesting.

I always just call them "n-once" and I read it that way too (which I think is what it comes from right? Number you use once?).

At least that way it stops me from making childish jokes.

I was this close to putting it on a car license plate unaware of the British use.

I've never been happier to just, check, before clicking a submit button.
