The term [[YIMBY_movement|YIMBY]], for Yes In My Backyard, was coined as a play on NIMBY.
'NIMBY' was coined as, and generally remains, a critical and pejorative term, which people hardly ever use to self-identify. So if used as a term for a person (as opposed to say a ''dynamic ''or ''syndrome), ''it may be viewed as inherently polarizing. <br/> A relatively rare case of someone using NIMBY to self-identify is Jane Anne Morris, ''Not In My Back Yard: The Handbook'' (1994), pictured at right. However, the sense in which she uses the term is more like, '''NIABY''', "Not In Anyone's Backyard," i.e. opposition to land-uses which it is argued should not happen at all, such as radioactive waste disposal. (See: [[NIMBY_and_YIMBY_related_terms|NIMBY and YIMBY related terms]]). <br/>
