https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/29/brazil-gangs-terrorist-rubio. #Criminal #gangs are NOT #terrorist #organisations. #Criminality isn't #terrorism, @Nonilex. This is just #abuse of #language - terrorism is the use of #violence for #political &/or #religious ends. If there is no #ideological #motivation, it isn't terrorism, no matter how #violent it is.

#nonce is two separate nouns:

Nonce (1) means: The one or single occasion; the present reason or purpose.
(Etymology 1 is inherited from Middle English nonse, nones.)

Nonce (2, in Britain and Ireland) means: A sex offender, especially one who perpetrates against children.
(Etymology 2 is dated 1975, in British criminal slang.) French equivalent: #pointeur
