noromo en · NOUN

From a shortening of no romance.

(qualifier:The X-Files fandom slang) A person who opposes the idea of a romantic relationship between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
- Being a hard-core "noromo" (parlance for "no romancer," someone who believes the show's UST, or unresolved sexual tension, is the key to its vitality), I have also flamed "shippers" ("relationshippers," those who want Mulder and Scully to get it on in the film) with now embarrassing vituperations, such as, "Why don't you just go get the lame job you're destined for at the state budget office?" 1998 June 22, John Cloud, “Cinema: An X-Phile Confesses”, in Time:
- There had always been a separation between the noromos and the shippers, but at the start of the eighth season, another significant division was born. 2002, Tom Kessenich, EXaminations: An Unauthorized Look at Seasons 6-9 of The X-Files, Featuring the Reviews of Unbound I, Trafford Publishing (2002), page 5
- Once it became generally accepted that Mulder and Scully were romantically involved off screen, the noromos stopped watching in disgust, while the shippers lamented not being allowed to witness the transition in the relationship. 2002, Elizabeth Weinbloom, "'THE X-FILES'; A Botched Romance" (letter to the editor), The New York Times, 2 June 2002
