An Academic Look at NBD

NBD is most commonly used as a standalone declarative sentence (i.e., a statement), meaning "It is no big deal." When it is used in a wider sentence, NBD is used as a noun. (NB: When NBD is expanded, it is a noun phrase based on the common noun Deal. The words No and Big are adjectives modifying Deal.)

NBD is an initialism abbreviation. This means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., En Bee Dee). Initialisms contrast with acronyms, which are spoken like words.
