NIMBY

A person who whines and pisses about the noise coming from a local airport or racetrack. Most of these people should have known better ......
I moved next to Los Angeles International Airport in 1994, and the noise is incredible! I'm going to set up an action group. We will then complain to the local authorities and FORCE the airlines to spend MILLIONS just to keep the noise down.

(I should have used my BRAIN before purchasing a house under the flightpath! The local racetrack was here BEFORE I WAS BORN, and in actual fact has EVERY RIGHT to make noise. For some reason I didn't wonder why the house was so cheap in the first place .....)

Not in my Back Yard. Individuals who express their ideas freely, and aren't in a clique. Us nimby, aren't angsty, or preppy or poser. No, we live life in pure harmony, with no worries. Us nimby speak our mind, and enjoy company with real friends. We are not shallow.
From this day forward, we shall be known as NIMBY, not in my back yard. Because no one wants us in their back yard.
