Why “oikophobe” is a great word
OIKOPHOBE — [Noun] One who suffers from a profound aversion to or rejection of their own home, culture, or nation, often identifying instead with a transnational collective. From the Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos, "house, home, household") and -phobe (from φόβος (phóbos, "fear")). Unlike a patriot, who finds fierce belonging in national soil, or a xenophile, who feels a generous attraction to the foreign, the oikophobe is defined by a visceral recoil from the domestic. It is the cringe at a national anthem heard in a quiet pub, the embarrassed dismissal of a local folk tale as provincial, and the intellectual's curated disdain for the vernacular architecture of his own childhood town—a homelessness of the spirit that mistakes the hearth for a cage.
