NTM

(Internet slang, Reddit slang).

(internet slang) nice try.

NT is internet shorthand for 'nice try,' deployed with varying degrees of sarcasm. At its mildest, it's a genuine if brief acknowledgment of a decent attempt — in gaming, it's often sincere encouragement after a close loss. At its most cutting, it's a dismissive clap-back to someone whose argument, burn, or flex clearly missed the mark. A two-letter verdict that can sting or soothe depending entirely on who's typing it and why.

(internet slang) : indicates that a message has no content beyond what can be seen in the subject line.
