noms
Internet food slang
Noms is playful internet slang for food, especially snacks or anything delicious.
The word mimics the sound of enthusiastic eating—nom nom nom—and carries affectionate, slightly childish connotations: I need to grab some noms before the movie.
Often used when discussing food with casual fondness rather than serious hunger.
