NGMI

'Not gonna make it' — the verdict on anyone who sold early, doubted, or asked a reasonable question. The insult of the 2021 boom, and the record's note that most of the people who said it did not make it either.

WAGMI is a hug. NGMI is a shove. The record files them together and notes that both were said by the same accounts about the same things a week apart.

Sighting @discord_deacon · Coroner 26 Sep 2021

Still alive: overheard NGMI used between two teenagers on a bus, neither of them explaining it to the other. That is the whole test and it passed.

Memory @kym_lurker · Archivist 7 Sep 2021

For whoever reads this in ten years: NGMI arrived in 2021 and for about a month it was the only correct response to anything. Then it became a response to itself.
