What does n-p-m stand for?

- Never Program Mad
- Never Push to Master
- Neverending Plethora of Modules
- Newton's Programmatic Measurements
- Newts Parading Majestically
- Nice Poodle, Mister
- Nickel Plated Moose
- Nineties Party Mix
- Null Pointer Missing
- Nymphets Playing Mahjong
Add your own expansion to expansions.txt, then send us a pull request! If you think of multiple possibilities, please submit them as separate PRs, as we may like some but not others.
Some other suggestions:
- be meaningful. Three random words is not good enough.
- be funny. This is very subjective, we realize, so try not to take it personally if we don't get it.
- be novel. If your expansion starts with "No", "New", "Never" or "Node" the other two words better be pretty great.
- avoid hyphenation, especially "non-". Yes, there are some in there already. Sorry.
- use actual words. You can't just make up random new words. Unless they're really good.
- Avoid names of people and products (other than npm ;-))
- avoid anything that even slightly hints of violating npm's code of conduct. These are literally the first words that appear on the website, and our audience is very broad, so it's best to avoid things that can be misconstrued.
