Antisynurbism - A True Definition!


As a student of ecology I sometimes come across words that are conspicuous by their absence; words that have not yet been invented. Here is such a word:

antisynurbism - noun: (pronounced: anti-syn-urb-ism) To act in an antisynurbic way. Cats, dogs, rabbits ect. returning to a feral or semi-wild state but happy to remain in an urban environment living alongside and scavenging from humans may be said to be antisynurbic or displaying antisynurbism. Opposite to synurbism.

Picture shows Thomas an antisynurbic cat. Thomas left home in spite of being well fed and looked after by his owners. He now lives as a feral staying close to the house but never coming in! Occasionally he will me-ow for food but generally is self sufficient.
