释义	Nimby /ˈnɪmbi / noun (plural Nimbys or Nimbies) informal A person who objects to the siting of something perceived as unpleasant or hazardous in their own neighbourhood, especially while raising no such objections to similar developments elsewhere: rural development arouses intense suspicion from Nimbys and conservationists... In response to these comments: it has become popular to label anyone who objects to a development as a Nimby. Is he bitter because they didn't get any money from the Nimbys' homes being built or are all the villagers Nimbys who live in the new developments? It is no answer to the problem for the Nimbys, already established in their ever-expanding residences, to propose that there should be no further development or increase in population density in Balmain. Derivatives Nimbyism noun ... What should I call politically motivated Nimbyism? The miners also accuse the anti-mining lobby of Nimbyism.
