Selective Autism

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

Social Justice Warrior: I have a friend who babysits for a couple with an autistic kid, and I find your use of the term "Selective Autism" to be very insensitive.

Selective Tagging

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 hearing

Selective hearing is a bit like WHEN UR DUMB ASS PARENTS call ur name and u say what and they don't say anything till u go to them.

Parent:"Jimmy!! "
Jimmy:what!!

*silence*
Jimmy:WHAT MOM/DAD!!

*Silence again
(This is literally selective hearing)

selective britishness

As stated before, a good example of English Selective Britishness is the use of country names in wins/losses in sport (England won, Britain lost/Britain won, Scotland lost)... Yet it works both ways!

For example, in a recent Televised poll, many (NOT all, I'm not generalising!) Scots said they want all ties to be cut from England, to preserve Scottish heritage etc... Yet these same people expect Scottish TV presenters etc. to remain presenting English TV!?

Scotland is currently still part of Britain, hence their own ability to display traits of Selective Britishness... That's not to say England isn't guilty!

Let's keep Britain firmly in place... it means more public holidays for both countries! :D

Selective Hearing

The act of listening to only the things a person wants to hear. This can lead to a complete topic change.

Matt: Yo are you watching this Rockies game? It's nuts!

Ben: uhh. I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work out.

Matt: (thinking to himself) Damn. That's some crazy selective hearing if I ever saw it.
