NGMI

Not gonna make it: a skeptical reply, a put-down or a joke about your own bad crypto decision.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

NGMI is the pessimistic counterpart to WAGMI. People use it when a plan looks doomed, when someone misses a detail or when laughing at their own mistake. It can also be a way to shut down another person's opinion. The letters tell you the speaker's mood, not who will turn out to be right.

How you might use it

I spent twenty minutes refreshing the wrong block explorer. NGMI, apparently.

NGMI: an anonymous glass avatar gives a self-deprecating facepalm at a block-explorer refresh laptop, with a skeptical chat bubble.
