The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.
I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.
He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!
Antonym: Active Listening

Get the lister fiend mug.An actual challenge, not a prank, to see how long one can withstand swishing a full shot (the cup attached on the bottle) of Listerine - *Cool Mint* inside their mouth.
This is usually very difficult to do for most people, given the fact that the formula for most Listerine products gives a burning sensation that damages the sensitive tissue inside your mouth.
But on the plus side, the victim of the Listerine Challenge gets a cleaner, fresher, mouth.
**this is in no way promoting the products of Listerine, or any dentists.
