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 .....)

when something’s a bit naf, not up to your standards, it’s a bit nimby. could also mean when something’s great, or interesting, that it’s also very nimby.
it’s has multiple uses however when it’s used it’s instantly understood.
