nonnie
Informal term, grandmother
Nonnie is an informal term of endearment for a grandmother, similar to nana or granny.
The spelling varies and often reflects how a young child first pronounced the word.
In online communities, particularly on platforms allowing anonymous posts, nonnie is also an affectionate term for an anonymous commenter or message sender: Thanks for the kind words, nonnie!
This usage developed from shortening "anonymous" to "anon" and then adding the diminutive suffix.
