bummers are deaf

a cracking joke to play on your mates, it has to be said quickly and slightly disguised so the victim doesnt hear what you are saying and says 'eh' or 'what'
whilst in conversation with someone, see if you can catch them out, ie

Person 1: you know what they say, bummmers are deaf (remember, disguise it slightly)

Person 2: Eh

Person 1: Bummers Are Deaf
Person 2: What

Contine until you have to declare that they are indeed deaf therefor they are bummers

Gender Deaf

Where you only hear a person by some auditory means but can’t see them in person and you can’t identify their gender by how they sound. Could be because you weren’t paying attention or because the sound of the persons voice was especially feminine but his name was John. Could also be intentional so as to not offend someone by assuming they are a certain gender just by the sound of their voice.

Jim: “Who was that?”
Larry: “It was a salesperson.”
Jim: “Was it a man or woman?”
Larry: “ I don’t know, I’m gender deaf.”
