uMember of the circle (moc/c/circle)
Before this can be defined, we need to know the origins.
In one startrek episode there was a group called 'the circle' whose logo kept popping up everywhere. The circle are a group who reckon that only bajorans should be on bajor.
So if someone's a member of the circle, it means that they are really anti-immigration to the point where they might well be willing to build <country's> great wall, especially if there has been some past bad experience with people coming in and this stems from a slight to severe over-reaction to that past injustice.

Get the niggard mug.Neurotypical syndrome is a very common mistake in brain-wiring. This mix-up can be easily spotted in the NT (person with NT syndrome) by watching out for these signs:
.preoccupation with social concerns.
.Delusions of superiority
.Assumption that their experience of the world is the only correct one
.Difficulty with solitude
.Intolerance of seemingly minor differences in others
.In groups, Inisistence on destructive/dysfunctional and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaing indenty of said group.
.Difficulty communicating directly
.Much higher incidence of lying than certain other groups
.Difficulty decing on whether to use eye-contact in the ALL form or in the NOTHING form.
.Over-exageration of emotions , body language, gestures, miming or spoken language
.Limited senses.
Tragicially, this could affect as many as 9265 out of every 10,000 indiviuals. NT syndrome is believed to be genetic in origin. However, there are many other theories, perhaps the most well-known being 'oven mothers'. There is no time to prevent NT syndrome as the signs are present either in infancy or in very early childhood.
Unfortunately, there is no known cure for NT syndrome. However, many NTs have learned to compensate for their disabilites and are able to communicate with those on the Autistic Spectrum succesfully.
The discovery of NT syndrome, first in the U.K. and later on in the U.S has led to the start of numerous organisations dedicated to fighting NT syndrome, CANT is perhaps the best-known. However, DANT and FANT are among the lesser-known. Interestingly, when NTs are grouped together and hidden by the anymonisity of the internet, they tend to either spam or post vulagirity or both. If not, they can and sometimes do resort to other unsavoury methods of making a point.
Some believe NT syndrome is just an excuse so that parents do not have to deal with the consequences of the bad behaviour exhibited by their child/children.
Is it really possible to attack the Neurotypicality of a person without hurting the person themself, anymore than it is possible to hurt the 'maleness' of a boy, without hurting the boy himself?

Can't really think of an example for NT syndrome. Don't like the defintion? Tough! NTs are put on the same terms as aspies/auties. Think about that before you click the little thumbs down button.

Get the rainbow colours mug.old boy In Kempston, just as people say 'old man' as a term for their father, we also use 'old boy' to refer to our elder brothers. In the same way, 'young old boy' is used to refer to our younger brothers. This appears to be contained within Kempston and is dying out.
Half-brothers and step-borthers are also sometimes described in this way.
It is mostly only used in the genetic sense but is seldom used in terms of emotional bonds.
