When somebody uploads a group picture on Facebook, and doesn't tag the people they don't like.

Dang man, I was hoping she'd tag me in the picture... she tagged all the cool people though. Guess she did some selective tagging

Selective Autism

Selective Autism is the act of choosing to ignore sarcasm and nuance for the sole purpose of feigning outrage.

selective knowledge

just like 'selective hearing', but with regards to having knowledge. Admitting or not, to having that knowledge, as one seems fit.

Linda was trained on each part of her new job. However, she forgot part B, so she claims she wasn't trained for it. She's using 'selective knowledge' to cover her ass.
