Akin to NIMBY or BANANA. And of course it was a joke. I came across a book today called WIMBY. It's an anti-NIMBY manifesto (stands for Welcome into My Backyard.)

I was annoyed because I had to put the car in the garage, which meant moving the table saw, sliding over the skateboard ramps, stacking a few of the bicycles and lifting the bike trailer on top of a big pile of other stuff. Fortunately the Emergency is over and the car is on the street again, though I'm hoping not to drive it for a while. I just like using public land to store it on for free. So I guess I am a nomos, though I didn't know you could use the word that way. What does that make you, a philosophy major?

Anyway, there's one more reason to get rid of your car, or to keep it in deep storage in your garage, hidden behind your extensive fleet of bicycles. What does that make you, a NOMOS?

Now THAT is an emergency, darn it.
