    Hey! Nothing wrong with antisocial.

    “Mr Bennis said Reggie had attempted to drown the native mute swans and had disrupted the nesting swans on the river.”

    Oh shit

      Whenever I see the BBC or any British English I assume antisocial means incredibly rude or mean. It’s not the first time I’ve seen it used, and I think a few months ago there was a news article saying “antisocial driving” — still can’t remember what that meant.

        that is technically the correct use of the word, “asocial” is what you want for people who just don’t socialise
