No problem
No problem is an English expression, used as a response to thanks. It is regarded by some as a less formal alternative to you're welcome, which shares the same function. It is similar to the Australian English expression no worries. The phrase is used in most of the United States, especially on the East Coast of the United States.
Some older people find the expression, particularly when employed in the service industry, to be rude, implying that a reasonable request could have been received as problematic or unwelcome. However, in the culture of younger Americans, no problem is often used as a more conversational alternative to you're welcome.
It is widely believed that younger speakers especially favor no problem over you're welcome, and empirical research has corroborated this belief.
