LOST FOR WORDS?

Through this section you can learn newly coined words or just some curiosities about the English language.
If you know any of this sort, your entries will be welcome!
Here you have two of them:

* nimby: an acronym of "not in my backyard". It refers to someone who objects to siting something in their own neighborhood but does not object to it being sited elsewhere.

* dinkies: an acronym of "double income, no kids". It refers to the couple who don't have any children and both work.
