NLE (countable and uncountable, plural NLEs)

  1. (uncountable) Initialism of Newfoundland and Labrador English.
    • 2010, Sandra Clarke, Newfoundland and Labrador English[1], page 151:
      A small part at least of the language associated with younger speakers originates in local words that appear to have undergone local meaning change. A good example is skeet. This term may be related to skite which in neighbouring Prince Edward Island can mean a 'young scoundrel' (Pratt 1988), or to the American terms skeester/skeeter, definied by the Dictionary of American Regional English (Cassidy and Hall 1985) as 'rascal, rogue'. If older NLE speakers know this word at all, they would probably use it in this sense. Among younger speakers, however, it has much the same meaning as such British slang terms as chav, charver or scally, or even the North American white trash.
  2. (countable) Initialism of nonlinear equation.
  3. (uncountable) Initialism of nonlinear editing.
  4. (countable) Initialism of nonlinear editor.
