NONB: Non-Business
NONB is an abbreviation of "Non-Business".
It is an expression, which is commonly used in Gmail messaging platform. It is written in the subject of the mail at the beginning of the subject if the particular mail is not related to the thread mail. So, in that way, it helps the receiver to decide if he/she should open the mail and read that message or not.
Let us take an example to make it easy to understand.
In email Subject, if it is written:
NONB: Regarding DJ Night Timing
This shows that this mail is not related to the topic of the thread mail and needed not to be open and read by all but for the interested one only.
Now, these days, the demands of acronyms are very high on social media online chatting or messaging, so the users usually use NONB as a replacement for Non-Business.
So, in this way, the abbreviation NONB is used mostly on the social media platform.
While this slang is very common in social media platforms, mainly email messaging, still many are unaware of this slang.
In the corporate industry too, these slangs are common and used in a very large manner. The industry itself likes those employees who are smart enough and stay updated with such digital languages which are familiar, easy and are good at time management.
So, basically in emails if you want to send some irrelevant but important mail in the same thread to others you can use NONB instead of Non-Business. Also, if someone sent the mail with the subject beginning with NONB, just understand that it is not relevant to the topic of the thread mail.
