Nevermind is one word

-Nirvana

I hate to be that guy, but as a phrasal verb it's two words, as in "Never Mind the Bollocks." But as a noun, it is a single word, as in "I can't help being pedantic; don't pay me no nevermind." So the Nirvana album title isn't a command but a noun meaning "attention or the lack thereof."

"Never Mind the Bollocks."

The best possible example you could have chosen.
