Rather, it\u2019s a shortened version of \u201cnever mind.\u201d You\u2019ll also sometimes see it as \u201cNVMD\u201d or \u201cNM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Never mind can be abbreviated in both upper- (NVM) or lowercase (nvm), however, the latter is much more common. You\u2019ll frequently see it online, in messaging <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, chat rooms, or texts when someone wants everyone else in the conversation to disregard their last message.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origins_of_NVM\"><\/span>The Origins of NVM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NVM has been in use since the earliest online chat rooms. It was frequently used because people often had to type quickly and efficiently. Many messaging platforms, like SMS, also had strict character limits, so it was necessary to abbreviate longer phrases.<\/p>\n<p>The top entry for NVM on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=nvm\">Urban Dictionary<\/a> dates back to 2003 (although, it\u2019s much older), and is simply defined as \u201cnevermind.\u201d Since then, it\u2019s gained widespread use all over the internet, on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, and messaging apps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_NVM_in_Chats_and_Texts\"><\/span>Using NVM in Chats and Texts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_693571\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-693571 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xbusinessman-rubbing-eyes.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.m8Zg4SsocW.jpg\" alt=\"A man sitting in front of his laptop, holding his glasses and rubbing his eyes.\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/tired-computer-african-businessman-taking-off-1017688222\" data-credittext=\"fizkes\/Shutterstock\" 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 noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/tired-computer-african-businessman-taking-off-1017688222\">fizkes\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The most common usage of NVM is to ask someone to disregard the last message you sent. This often happens when you\u2019re requesting help. Say you\u2019re trying to solve a difficult math problem and contact someone for some help. Then, say you\u00a0manage to solve the problem on your own. If you text \u201cnvm\u201d to the person you contacted for help, it lets that person know she can ignore your previous message.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, if you\u2019re shopping for an item, you might message a store to see if it\u2019s in stock. However, if you then receive the item as a gift, you could message, \u201cNvm, just received it as a gift!\u201d The seller will then know they don\u2019t need to get back with you.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use\u00a0nvm when\u00a0you change your mind about something. For example, you might text a friend for advice on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/317\/how-to-shop-for-clothes-online\/\">which shirt to buy<\/a>. However, if you decide to get something else entirely, you might text, \u201cNvm! Got a sweater instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unusual_Uses_of_NVM\"><\/span>Unusual Uses of NVM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NVM is also sometimes used in a passive-aggressive or sarcastic way. When someone isn\u2019t opening your messages, you might say\u00a0nvm to get their attention or make them feel guilty for not responding.<\/p>\n<p>You might also use NVM if you accidentally\u00a0send a message to the wrong person. While this might be embarrassing (especially if it\u2019s been read), a simple \u201cnvm, wrong number\u201d or \u201cnvm, meant to send that to someone else\u201d should fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Many people will also use\u00a0NVM<em>\u00a0<\/em>when the person they\u2019re talking to doesn\u2019t understand their question. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Person A:<\/strong>\u00a0Have you watched the new episode yet?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Person B:\u00a0<\/strong>What? A new episode came out?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Person A:\u00a0<\/strong>LOL, nvm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another use of NVM is when asking questions or making requests on social media. For example, say you ask your followers for suggestions on which movie to watch. Then, you have a sudden change of plans and decide not to watch a movie after all. You might post something like, \u201cnvm, looks like I won\u2019t be watching a movie after all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Here&#8217;s How to Unsend Messages on Facebook Messenger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_NVM\"><\/span>How to Use NVM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because NVM means \u201cnever mind,\u201d you can use it in the same situations in which you would use that phrase.
