This is like sexist or racist. But instead of being 'ist' against sex or race, these people are all against the place that you are.
Example: Ok, I sit up the back of my classroom, and the other day we had a math test. I REALLY needed help with a question and I ad my hand up for AGES!! But since I was up the back and the teacher couldn't be bothered walking up the back, I didn't get my test finished. This is a simple example of the place discrimination that goes aroud today. Please do not become a placist.

Placebist Bias

A cognitive bias where one automatically attributes any positive outcome from alternative, complementary, or unconventional treatments to the placebo effect, without considering other mechanisms or evidence. Placebist Bias is the default assumption that if it's not conventional medicine, it must be placebo—regardless of research, mechanism, or patient experience. The bias protects materialist orthodoxy by explaining away anomalies rather than investigating them. It's the mirror image of credulity: instead of believing everything, it disbelieves everything that doesn't fit the framework.
"She tried acupuncture for chronic pain and got relief. Placebist Bias says: placebo, obviously. Never mind the studies showing physiological effects; never mind the patient's experience. The bias assumes placebo because the alternative is uncomfortable. Placebist Bias isn't skepticism; it's dogma in disguise. It explains away rather than explains."
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
