pedofil
The English slang term nonce is translated into Polish as pedofil.
This term is used to describe a person who commits sexual offenses against children.
Did you know?
- Unlike the British term 'nonce', which is rooted in the secretive language of prisons, the Polish word pedofil is derived from the Ancient Greek words for 'child' and 'love'.
- While the English slang 'nonce' is highly informal and often used as a heavy insult in street slang, the Polish term pedofil is a formal, clinical, and legal term used in news reports and medical contexts.
- In many Polish social media discussions, people avoid the direct term pedofil to bypass automated content filters, instead using euphemisms or coded language to discuss the subject.
Examples in context
- Ten pedofil został schwytany przez policję.That pedophile was caught by the police.
- W wiadomościach mówili o tym, że to pedofil.In the news, they said that he is a pedophile.
- Musimy chronić dzieci przed każdym pedofilem.We must protect children from every pedophile.
