VileBody 11 Posted August 31, 2005 nuncheon – a drink or snack taken between meals, esp. in the afternoon I think you'll find that a nuncheon is a screw-joint used to attach seats to scaffolding to make temporary viewing galleries etc. "It would appear, Your Majesty, that several of the nuncheons were installed without the proper diligence or care, and the whole fuc*ing lot came down. With my humblest felicitations on the rapid recovery of the young Prince's leg, I am, yours etc...", Letter from Lord Palmerstone following publication of the Report into the Lord Mayor's Parade Calamity, 1866 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,397 Posted August 31, 2005 Opus Dei, now they're always critical of todays Mass. True. But then, they're critical of everything that happened after 1848. They just love the Latin. Latin lovers. Get them while they're hot. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VileBody 11 Posted August 31, 2005 Nuncheon, n. Large pointy stick used for acts of self-abuse by members of dodgy Catholic secret societies.

Lady Die 63 Posted August 31, 2005 ‘Lunch’ is short for ‘luncheon’ the meal between breakfast and tea or dinner. The word “luncheon” is made of the words “lump” and “nuncheon”. The “lump” was originally a thick piece of bread, bacon, or meat. The “nuncheon” was the “noon drink” which was taken at the “ninth” hour, originally 3 o’clock in the afternoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 48 Posted August 31, 2005 In quick order, damnit! You line 'em up and we'll get 'em all done and dusted before nuncheon. NUNCHEON? nuncheon – a drink or snack taken between meals, esp. in the afternoon "Yes,--I left London this morning at eight o'clock, and the only ten minutes I have spent out of my chaise since that time procured me a nuncheon at Marlborough." – Sense and Sensibility, ch. 44 Oh, you mean NUNCHION, not nuncheon.

An easy mistake to make According to my copy of the Compact Oxford English Dictionary... Nuncheon. Now dial.

In mod. western and south western dialect the shorter form munch is also current: cf. luncheon and lunch.]A slight refreshment of liquor, etc., originally taken in the afternoon; a light refreshment taken between meals; a lunch. It then goes on in great detail to give various quotes where nuncheon is definitely used in the context of a light afternoon tipple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
