Sorry, the tilde before "nobody" is my notation for "basically nobody" or "almost nobody". I thought it was more common.


It is more common when it comes to numbers I guess. There are ~5 ancestors in this comment chain, if I would agree roughly 4-6 is acceptable.


It's the literal (figurative) nobody rather than the literal (literal) nobody.
