selective hoeing

Selective hoeing is the act of being of hoe. But not just being a hoe for anybody, you're very selective of who you send them booty pics to. For example, you could have 10 niggas in your DM's and only be picking and choosing specific ones.

Girl 1: "Damn Becky, you've been a real hoe lately."
Girl 2: "It's not just regular hoeing, it's selective hoeing."

selective syndrome

Selective schools are specific schools across Australia that accept 6th graders for high school when they pass the selective school test. During their time here, they may suffer from 'selective syndrome' (which can occur anytime and anywhere) where they loose their intellectuallity and succumb to the state of normallity (AKA the mainstream classes' state).

"Hey Janice, what happened to poor Carol over there. She looks a bit unstable"
"Oh don't worry about her, she's got selective syndrome. It'll wear off sooner or later"
"Well I hope it does, since we have a maths test next period"
