At one point, the conversion turned to the personality types (in terms of sociability) at the table.
One person said, "I'm an extrovert!" - they were so proud that they are expressive and outgoing.
Another person goes, "I'm an introvert!" - they were equally proud that they are thoughtful and more reticent.
A third person then says, "I'm just antisocial!" - they were half laughing and have serious that they are not sociable and even a little antagonistic to others.
That's when I came up with the new antisocial term, called an antivert!
Looking up that word on google to see if it already existed, I see someone has used it to brand an antihistamine for preventing and treating motion sickness and vertigo -- hence from vertigo, this medicine is an antivert.
If you think of antisocial people as a little of balance or off-kilter and eccentric, then the word antivert works both to treat vertigo as well as to describe people that are the antisocial personality type. ;-)
