NMD (nǐ mā de) — Your mom

Your mom! / WTF (directed) — abbreviation of 你妈的 (nǐ mā de), literally "your mother's." A stronger, more personally directed version of TMD. Used when angry at a specific person rather than just venting at the universe.

Example Usage

你居然这样对我，NMD！

How dare you treat me like this — WTF!

Cultural Context

The distinction between TMD (他妈的, "his mother's") and NMD (你妈的, "your mother's") is meaningful in Chinese: NMD is a direct personal attack while TMD is more of a general expletive. Both are heavily censored on Chinese platforms, which is why the abbreviated forms are used. In heated online arguments, switching from TMD to NMD signals real anger.
