yarden noun [C]
UK /ˈjɑː.dən/ US /ˈjɑːr.dən/
a small yard behind a house that has been turned into a garden
I wanted my yarden to be a quiet place of refuge, somewhere to relax in a slouchy chair after work, with a beer and a book, somewhere to get lost in my slippers on a Sunday morning and, after tweaking out a few weeds, discover that my cup of tea was stone cold and a couple of hours had passed… And as well as a marvellous, lush space, I also wanted to grow my own produce.

Dimby noun [C]
/ˈdɪmbɪ/
abbreviation for develop in my back yard: someone who sells their house or land they own to a property developer
Of course, becoming a Dimby won’t work for everyone struggling to sell – you’ll usually need land on which to develop, and it helps if you have a single-storey property among taller buildings, or a detached home in a built-up area.

nice try.😏😏😏
I have never heard dimby before.
Neither have I!
Same
Why ‘coffeeholic’ isn’t in Cambridge Dictionary?
I have never heard all the words above😝😎😏🙂😂🙁😒🧐🤨🤣😄🤪😉😞😌☺️😆😔😛😗😚😁😜😕🤓☹️😊🙃🥰😟
Those words are beatiful and I think they will bevery useful in the future If they are used.
Similar derivation to “NIMBY”
I can’t understand so far what DIMBY is exactly. Is it a extra piece of land behind a private house? If so, then I can’t follow the phrase “becoming a DIMBY won’t help”. Who or What becomes a DIMBY? Also, is it a countable noun?
I’ve never had listened about these words. Those are really the newest in English vocabulary for me.
