Ah, I see—the note text seems garbled or possibly encrypted: “nochercon here tonight with…” doesn’t make sense as written. It looks like either a typo, a scrambled message, or maybe a coded phrase.
A few possibilities:
- Typo or autocorrect error – Maybe he meant something like “no concern here tonight with…” or another phrase, and it got miswritten.
- Intentional scramble – Sometimes people jumble letters to hide the real meaning. For example, “nochercon” could be an anagram. Rearranging letters, it could spell something like “concern oh” or “no chore cnc”—though none of these are perfect English phrases.
- Incomplete note – The rest of the message may have been lost, and without it, the meaning is unclear.
Given the context—he paid the full bill and left—it might indicate disappointment or frustration, possibly implying he felt you were being unreasonable about splitting the cost.
If you want, I can try deciphering “nochercon” more systematically and see if it could reveal a hidden message. Do you want me to do that?
