NVM is the abbreviation for “never mind”. Most commonly used when you ask a question and figure out the answer yourself before anyone replies (“wait nvm i found it”).
A bare “nvm” as a reply to something else can read as sulky or dismissive. The longer “nvm i’ll explain later” is much friendlier.
Lowercase by default.
