note well

In the LGBTQ community, an enby is a nonbinary person. It’s a phonetic pronunciation of NB, short for nonbinary, or people who do not identify their gender as male or female.

There are many different gender identities, including male, female, transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, and all, none or a combination of these.

Comments. NB is short for “Nota Bene,” which means “Please note” in Latin (similar to the ie and eg abbreviations. It is often used at the end of e-mail messages. Example. “NB: Your response is requested by the end of the week.”

Nota bene is always abbreviated with capital letters, e.g. N.B.

Strictly speaking, the proper way involves underlining the abbreviation, because “nota bene” is Latin. However, most people skip the underlining and just use it like so: You will have 60 minutes to complete the exam. N.B.: Calculators are permitted for use during this exam.

People use “N.B.” at the end of a writing (say, a letter) to add a piece of information.

To clarify, “sksksk” is “an interjection used to convey surprise, happiness, and other intense emotions.” Used in a sentence, a VSCO girl might type “sksksk” to her friend over Instagram DM, and then declare “ok boomer” to her mom, who thinks “sksksk” is nothing more than a few consonants strung together.
