Uh somewhat off topic but is NOMFP a typo of NMFP (="not my fine problem")? Hadn't seen it before and big G suggests NMFP is way more common, with no hit that I saw explaining the 'O'.

Is this another typo? NFMP = Not Fine My Problem? That said, I’d also like to know.

  I’d have guessed „none of my fucking problems“

  Typo yes, that's what I get from HN:ing on my phone. Thanks, and fixed.

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=NOMFP https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=NOMFP (It's a quote from the UK political satire series "The Thick Of It", in which the character Malcolm Tucker remarks, "NOMFP. N-O-M-F-P. Not My Fucking Problem. I quite like that. Did you like that? I'll use that quite a lot today.")

  Aha, that was a couple of fathoms below my radar. Thanks!

  At first glance I thought "Not Our MFing Problem." Thanks.

    This seems quite plausible- moreso than using the first two letters of "Not."

I thought it was "not our motherfucking problem".

  Not sure why but thought it was: not on my f*cking premises

    You don't need to self-censor, we're all adults, we know what you mean, the US government won't deplatform you for typing an u.

Maybe “Not on my fucking plate”?
