Shout out to all the 80s/90s UK kids who used the word nonce to describe themselves (or others) as being akin to a numpty or a silly billy. I have felt such relief in discovering that it wasn't just me who didn't realise the actual meaning of the world. Such innocence but also so much cringing!

Are there any words or concepts you completely misunderstood or misused growing up?
