      “Nonce” is an insult in the UK.

        It’s not really an insult, it’s a descriptor.

        It’s also a Number you use ONCE, a NONCE. (This is the actual meaning of the picture definitely).

        Huh, til. In programming it’s simply a way of ensuring something happens exactly one time

      I don’t see any of these mentioned in this thread?

      Also unifi isn’t an acronym, initialism, abbreviation, contraction, or other phrase which expand to something larger

        Reading through the list of acronyms, I dont really get the point of this. Does knowing PCIe stands for peripheral component interconnect express really help anyone understand what it is?
