For example, if someone thanks you for helping them fix their car, you might text back, \u201cIt\u2019s nbd,\u201d in response. You can also use it to seem more humble about a remarkable accomplishment. For example, you might say, \u201cI just got an A+ on my calculus homework, nbd.\u201d This practice is known as \u201chumblebragging.\u201d\u00a0This acronym is often written in the lowercase \u201cnbd\u201d instead of the uppercase.<\/p>\n<p>NBD shares many similarities with the acronym NP, which stands for \u201cno problem.\u201d Both are common responses to someone thanking you, and both can replace phrases such as \u201cYou\u2019re welcome.\u201d It also has some similarities with DW, which stands for \u201cdon\u2019t worry.\u201d All three are commonly spoken phrases in response to someone\u2019s gratitude. However, unlike NP and DW, NBD is often used sarcastically and frequently takes on a completely different meaning.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_NBD\"><\/span>The History of NBD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NBD started to become prominent in the early 2000s through message boards and online chat <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s like AOL Instant Messenger. The first definition for NBD on the internet slang repository <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=nbd\">Urban Dictionary<\/a> is from 2005 and states that it stands for \u201cno big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While \u201cNBD\u201d started as a way to genuinely respond to someone thanking you, it morphed into something entirely different in the 2010s.

This led to a spike in the use of \u201cNBD.\u201d The sarcastic definition of the acronym used in personal conversations also rose in popularity, with \u201cNBD\u201d being a common term in chatting apps like WhatsApp and iMessage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>RIP AIM, the Messaging App AOL Never Wanted<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Staying_Humble\"><\/span>Staying Humble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Originally, NBD was synonymous with \u201cno problem\u201d and acted as a genuine response to someone thanking them. People often used it to downplay the importance or difficulty of a favor you did for someone else. For example, if someone\u2019s thanking you for giving them a ride to the airport, you might say \u201cNBD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, people said \u201cNBD\u201d even if it was a \u201cbig deal.\u201d Even if it requires significant time and effort on your part, you might say NBD to assuage the other person\u2019s concerns or so they don\u2019t feel indebted to you.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sarcasm_and_Humblebrags\"><\/span>Sarcasm and Humblebrags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-777792\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/young-man-new-car-selfie.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Young man taking a selfie and giving a thumbs up in front of a car.\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/young-man-choosing-new-vehicle-car-663003223\">4 PM production\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the opposite side of the coin, using NBD might be a way to brag about something. People will often add NBD when they want to \u201chumblebrag\u201d about something. For example, someone might post, \u201cI just got a shiny new ride, nbd,\u201d accompanied by pictures of their new car. However, most people on the internet can easily see through this attempt to seem humble.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use NBD sarcastically in two different ways. The first is when you\u2019re explicitly trying to get someone to praise or thank you. If you just did a favor for someone, you might tell them about how difficult the favor was, accompanied by NBD. For example, you\u2019d text, \u201cI only had to get up at 6 am to drive you to the airport, but nbd.\u201d This is a way of nudging someone to show gratitude towards you.<\/p>\n<p>The other way to use NBD sarcastically is by \u201chumblebragging\u201d something jokingly. For example, on social media, you might post the same message: \u201cI just got a shiny new ride, nbd.\u201d However, instead of pictures of your car, you might post photos of a children\u2019s tricycle you bought for your nephew. This essentially parodies the above post to a comedic effect.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_NBD\"><\/span>How to Use NBD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To use NBD sincerely, use it as a response when someone thanks you or shows appreciation for your actions. If you want to use it sarcastically, you can add it at the end of a sentence that shows how much of a \u201cbig deal\u201d your actions were or use it in a self-deprecating joke. Here are a few examples of NBD in action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cIt\u2019s nbd, really.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJust got a promotion at work, but nbd.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt only took me 3 hours to drive here, nbd.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cNBD, dude, I\u2019m happy to help.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you want to learn about other internet slang terms?
