the silence is deafening

When way up in the mountains with no sounds, the silence does indeed get to be screamingly loud & deafening!
I doubted what I heard about the silence is deafening until I experienced it firsthand. What an amazing phenomena!

Deafazz

An outrageously powerful slap delivered into the ear by the inside of one's bare palm. A loud slap is heard from across the room and the victim is usually left temporarily deaf, hence the name. The slap is preferably delivered after administering a droplet of spit into the palm and without the victim seeing it coming. It can be used as a verb in all tenses.
Noun: Ron Artest just gave that fan a mean deafazz.

Verb: Keep talking that smack and you'll get deafazzed.

deafyslexic

Deafyslexic: pronounced def•a•lex•ick

A person having the disability of “Deafyslexia” often mishears something, and incorrectly comprehends the statement using close sounding words; People with advanced Deafyslexia often do this even if the wrongly replaced words make little to no sense rationally in the sentence.
Temporay Deafyslexia VS Advanced Deafyslexia:
A person with temporary Deafyslexia can be defined by;
A person with hearing and/or commutative comprehension that is impaired at the current time due to other noises or lack of attentiveness to the conversation.

A person with advanced Deafyslexia can be defined by;
A person with hearing and/or commutative comprehension that is permanently less than average.

A person who’s IQ level is less than average, therefor unable to accurately replace the misheard words.
Typical Deafyslexia Example:

Steve Shouts to Ashley who is in the laundry room “Hey Ashley do you want to go the movies with me tonight?”
Ashley (who is doing the laundry) “Yeah I would love to grab a smoothie with you tonight”

Advanced Deafyslexia;

Steve (who is in the same cubical at work with Ashley) “Hey Ashley do you want to go the movies with me tonight?”
Ashley (Who is sitting next to steve) “No Steve, I am not sure I would put the moves on a meteorite”
Steve “What the F Ashley? You are seriously Deafyslexic!”

Yawn deafness

A condition where, at the peak of a big yawn, one suffers a few seconds of deafness due to the opening and closing of the eustachian tubes connecting the ear and throat. Opportunists who know of another's yawn deafness use this condition to say something to the person yawning that they don't want them to hear - usually an insult, but spoken under breath or in a normal conversational tone. Better practice is to do it with friends present who will all hear what you said. A sizeable yawn can open up a good 5 seconds of deafness opportunity.

NOTE: Not everyone suffers yawn deafness, so there is always a risk when you try it on someone new.
Ken: Man ... that was a hard day's work (starts yawning)

Fred: I came twice in your wife's arse last night.

Ken: (finishes yawning) Sorry - yawn deafness ... what was that?

Fred: Nothing ... I was just agreeing with you. Hard day indeed.
