-
(alt-of, alternative) Alternative spelling of antisocial.
There must be some deep-rooted anti-social principle in every man's nature, so dearly does he love aught that separates him from his kind; or is it but one of the many shapes taken by that mental kaleidoscope, vanity, the varying and the glittering, the desire of distinction, sinking into that of notice?
1832, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Heath's Book of Beauty, 1833, The Talisman, page 66:"It was probably one of our poorest stations in Belfast. It suffered from anti-social behaviour and there are lots of issues around it... […] There was an underpass beside the station which was a difficult area for anti-social behaviour. Again, we got artists involved, and schools and the community to put murals in it, and now the community feels like it's theirs. For a small urban station, it has a really nice modern feel about it."
