NIMBY
NIMBY is slang for Not In My BackYard.
Which basically means that people think that something is
a great idea, you just dont want it anywhere near
yourself.

You can use NIMBY on things like: Windmills, nuclear
power stations, highways and homes for people with
mental disorders, criminals etc.
