Lol no, don't use it like that! In the UK, calling someone a "nonce" is calling them a child molester.
Yes but to be fair we also call each other child molesters somewhat casually
No we don't. Don't be a complete nonce.
Yeah, you're right - I almost added a bit about how friends will say* that to each other. It certainly wouldn't be something you'd want to mutter to someone you thought was being daft if you didn't know them.
It's similar to other words commonly used. The root of the meaning is mostly lost and only the usage of it remains. Bastard, sod are two that come to mind.
