NIMBY

A clever way to let somebody know you don't respect them or the neighborhood they are from.
The bubbly girl thought she was clever, so she called anyone who disagreed with her point of a view a NIMBY until she got what she want to happen in the neighborhood to happen, even though unlike the people she was calling NIMBY's, she wasn't originally from the neighborhood, or one of them. She was really mad about nobody wanting her around there.
