Our definition (only definition...): NBD is used to describe something that is not a big deal and not very important to you. Also used sarcastically if you accomplish an amazing feat and want to let everyone know by saying it's NBD, but it's actually a really BD.
There are no other forms of the word NBD.
Original Sentences:
1. My friend apologized for stealing my boyfriend, but I was already over it. So, I told her it was NBD and that I didn't care.
2. I just landed a backflip on my snowboard, but you know it's NBD, it's not like I'm amazing or anything....
Use:
There are two great situations to say "NBD" in. First, you should say it if someone is either apologizing to you for something, or trying to get a reaction out of you. If someone apologizes and you forgive them, it's good to just say that it's NBD. If somebody tells you something because they want to get a reaction out of you and stir your emotions, then a good way to prove them wrong is by saying, "whatever, it's NBD." The second, and probably more common, use of "NBD" is when you are being very sarcastic. If you want to let everyone know that you just landed a flip on your snowboard or aced your test but you don't want to seem conceited, you can just tack on "NBD" to the end of your sentence and it makes you sound humble.
Synonym:
Saying "NBD" is like saying "it's whatever". They both mean that something is not important to you and that you couldn't care less. However, saying NBD is usually used in a more sarcastic manner, whereas "it's whatever" is usually used in a bitter way because you don't care for the person you are talking to/about.
Antonym:
The opposite of NBD would be saying that something is a really big deal, because it stands for "no big deal".
Usefulness:
I would rate "NBD" 3 out of 5 stars. I think it is a great word to use because it is very short and convenient to toss around in casual conversation. However, it would not be such a great word to use in a professional environment, so that takes away from its versatility. Also, i think that there are other words out there that could communicate your feelings more clearly.
This picture fits "NBD" well because, if you use it in the sarcastic form, you could say that this trick is not impressive and totally NBD, when you can tell that it's actually a really BD.
