The first sentence reads:

"No problem is an English expression, meaning 'you're welcome'."

This is not true. "You're welcome" is emphatically not what "No problem" means.

What is true is that "No problem" is an expression used by some people in response to "Thank you" — the same situation where other people might respond with "You're welcome" instead of "No problem."

Maybe someone knowledgeable in the English language could replace the erroneous sentence with one that's true.Daqu (talk) 16:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am dubious on the research on this claim as while you're welcome may be more popular with the older English generation variants of no problem exist in other cultures for some time. example spain uses de nada, meaning it was nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.167.226.85 (talk) 22:51, 14 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Since "No problem" can refer to other things which have articles in Wikipedia, a note saying "For other uses of "No problem" see "No problem - disambiguation" is needed at the top of this article. Vorbee (talk) 19:44, 16 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I propose to merge No problemo into this article, as it is merely a variation of "no problem" with the same implication of casualness abetted by the addition of a single letter. I would also suggest that merging would improve the state of both articles and perhaps provide further impetus for editors to improve the merged subject. BD2412 T 02:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Support. "No problemo" is a popular elaboration of "no problem" according to The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. Seems like a straightforward variation on a theme. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:41, 8 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
