In this particular case, Jins can mean:

Variety. Different types.

Older Punjabi generations used this word in a derogatory manner for a mischievous child or person...

 

 

Exactly the same the Greek root then, i.e. 'Genos' = different groupings of people.  (p.s if you're gonna insist on spelling Gence with a 'J' you'll have to be consistent and start spelling the word 'genocide' and 'Jenocide' too)

A little off-track but it is interesting how Farsi succeeded in getting rid of the Greek words used in Punjab but wasn't 100% successful. Alot of the old Greek words remained in use by the masses and made Punjab a bit of an outlier in this regard. The word 'Kuri' is a good example. Still used in Greece as one of the the words for a young girl.

Can anybody help me with tracing the origin of the Punjabi word 'Nonce' ?

Muhammad and the Clinical Definition of Pedophilia

From WikiIslam, the online resource on Islam

The age difference between 9 year old Aisha and 54 year old Muhammad was 45 years

This article discusses the DMS (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) of mental disorders and cites sahih hadiths to show that ProphetMuhammad was a pedophile according to clinical definitions.

For all related sahih hadiths confirming Aisha's age at marriage and consummation, see: Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Aisha. For a comprehensive refutation of all the claims that Aisha was older than 9, see: Aisha's Age of Consummation. And for all other apologetic arguments, see: Responses to Apologetics: Muhammad and Aisha.

Pedophilia

Many critics of Islam claim Muhammad's relationship with Aisha was a pedophilic relationship, therefore Muhammad was a pedophile.

Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: "Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old."

In psychiatry, the most commonly used diagnostic criteria for diagnosing psychiatric ailments are those from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders. The latest issue is DSM-IV-TR. The DSM classification is a system that classifies and defines all accepted psychiatric ailments and symptoms, with their inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following are the inclusion and exclusion criteria for pedophilia (302.2):

Pedophilia according to DSM-IV-TR

A. Over a period of at least six months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger).

B. The person has acted on these sexual urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies caused marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

C. The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A. 

Note: This does not include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12- or 13-year-old.
Diagnostic Critiera for Pedophilia
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Psychiatry Online
"According to the DSM-IV definition, pedophilia involves sexual activity by an adult with a prepubescent child. Some individuals prefer females, usually 8- to 10-year-olds. Those attracted to males usually prefers slightly older children. Some prefer both sexes. While some are sexually attracted only to children, others also are sometimes attracted to adults.

Pedophiliac activity may involve undressing and looking at the child or more direct physical sex acts. All these activities are psychologically harmful to the child, and some may be physically harmful. In addition, individuals with pedophilia often go to great lengths to obtain photos, films or pornographic publications that focus on sex with children.

These individuals commonly explain their activities with excuses or rationalizations that the activities have "educational value" for the child, that the child feels "sexual pleasure" from the activities or that the child was "sexually provocative." However, child psychiatrists and other child development experts maintain that children are incapable of offering informed consent to sex with an adult. Furthermore, since pedophiliac acts harm the child, psychiatrists condemn publications or organizations that seek to promote or normalize sex between adults and children."

In the following article, it will be shown that Muhammad's relationship with Aisha did indeed meet all the criteria to make the diagnosis of pedophilia, and therefore Muhammad was undoubtedly a pedophile.

I am surprised no one understood the root of the word. 

Its related to the biological word (latin, as most are)  : GENUS 

GENUS is a level above species. Two species within a genus can interbreed, for example : horse and donkey, tiger and lion, and so on

but above GENUS , differences become too different 

GENUS therefore is a latin (indo-european) word for "family" or something closely related 

Yes , my mom also used to perojatively use this word for me when I would be too prankster as a kid ?

but it just means "something of a kind" 

 

edit --

biological nomenclature of species name follows the format : <genus_name> <species_name>

so "Homo Sapiens" , we're sapiens within the homo genus, neanderthals were another species within Homo . Homo Erectus were other species but all belonging to Homo genus, hence possibly did interbreed in remote past

I use to come home from primary school, get changed, and lay down on the sofa to watch Rainbow. My dad use to say, "Eh munda kinha teet." I think it means either moderately lazy or a milder version of being cheeky; basically the person is pushing their luck, etc. Those old school Punjabi words -- the non-blue ones -- were amazing, lol.

EDIT: I just saw Mokham Singh's definition of "teet", and that definitely makes more sense!


Geoffrey, Bungle, and Zippy, were definitely worth watching...?

So it's use in the Punjabi context is correct. It's an insult that suggests the target is barely human.  ?

Although, something tells me this isn't the word Jagsaw was looking for.

genus doesn't mean barely human. it means  'kind' . its a group. something of a kind. Like how tigers, lions, leopards belong to same genus

In punjabi context it means "What kind of a creature this" prankster kid is ??

I never implied it literally meant barely human. According to the diagram you posted with the hierarchy of species and types, it clearly shows Genus ranked among other types of beings, Human being one of the closest kinds. So, if Gence is an obscure derivative of the Latin Genus, then the Punjabi insult makes sense, i.e. you're a different species close to human but not quite. ?

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
