nonces
These particular occasions
Nonces as a plural refers to words or formations created for a single occasion: Lewis Carroll filled his poems with nonces like "brillig" and "slithy".
In British slang, nonces means pedophiles: Nonces get segregated in prison for their own protection.
Context distinguishes the linguistic term from the slur.
