Journal Sax Maniac's Journal: The Opposite of NIMBY

There are some local issues that bring out the NIMBYs, but an equal contingent of unreasonable people of the opposite view. But they have no snappy, insulting name, that can turn a reasonable discussion of compromise into a polarized, mudslinging flame war!

You know, the people who think it's cool to ride an ATV full-throttle at midnight, but are NIMBYs themselves when it comes to own their property. People who have no sense of respect or neighborliness. People who shit where they don't eat. I've heard them called trespassers, encroachers, etc., but that's not cool enough.

So, I hereby define FURBY: I Fool-around in UR BackYard.

...for all values of "F".

Update: I have one even better... iFURBY. I love the implicit connotation of this one.
