NOR

What does NOR stand for in online conversations?

Not overreacting

NOR is a quick way to communicate online that you don't think someone is overreacting. People typically use it in casual online conversations, particularly on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter (X), and TikTok. For example, a Redditor may post an AIO description of an action they took against an abusive family member, and you respond with "NOR. You were honest, and your actions were justified."

People may also use it at the end of a dramatic or strongly worded statement to emphasize that the speaker genuinely believes their reaction is justified. For example, someone might say, "This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced NOR." In this context, "NOR" is similar in tone and purpose to phrases like "no but seriously" or "I'm so serious," but its brevity and capitalization give it an exaggerated, meme-like quality.

Example

My fiance spent $600 on mobile game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. AIO
NOR. You need to break it off with this guy ASAP
