When a person listening to music through a pair of earphones is confronted another person and takes an earphone out of only one ear. This usually happens because they know the person who confronted them will only want to engage in small talk and, therefore, don't find it worth the effort of taking off both earphones.
Person 1: *spots person 2 after class* Dude, class was so boring today.
Person 2: *does the earphone maneuver* Yeah... it was.
Person 1: Yeah, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow!
Person 2: Later. *puts earphone back on and continues listening to music*

Get the Millie elphtitties mug.According to author Gregory Maguire, the name of the Wicked Witch of the West, tragic antiheroine of The Wizard of Oz. From the initials of Oz author L. Frank Baum: eLFaBa.
Also the "title" character of the musical Wicked, based on Maguire's book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Used as an epithet for one whose actions are cold-hearted (as in the classic view of a wicked witch), or used sarcastically when one's actions are misguidedly noble or terroristic in nature. (In Maguire's book, Elphaba spent several years as part of a terrorist group fighting the injustices the Wizard caused for the people and Animals of Oz.)
