Word: NLE Part of Speech: noun 1. Initialism of Newfoundland and Labrador English. Labels: abbreviation, alt-of, initialism, uncountable Example: A small part at least of the language associated with younger speakers originates in local words that appear to have undergone local meaning change.

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. Initialism of nonlinear equation.

Lovell, "Tempus omnia monstra", in Land and Water, London, 3 March 1891 (quoted by Malcolm Smith, Bunyips and Bigfoots, Millennium Books, 1996, →ISBN, who was unable to obtain the original and so quotes from Bernard Heuvelmans, In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents, 1968, who in turn apparently quotes from Antoon C.

Lovell, "Land and Water", 25 April 1891 (quoted by Malcolm Smith from Heuvelmans etc).
