3. What is nm short for?

Nevermind

Nm is often short for "nevermind." People who use nm this way want you to disregard what they said in their previous message.

For example, if your SO sends you a text that reads "What do you want for dinner?," and you don't answer, they may send you a follow-up text that says "Nm, I ordered pizza." In this instance, your SO wants you to disregard their initial question, because they no longer care about what your answer would have been.
