listening to the winds of change

(lyrics from the song "wind of change" by The Scorpions) :

a phrase meaning: to be clever enough to (correctly) detect and/or predict patterns of future social change in one's society, and adapt to said patterns before most other people around you.

during the 2016 presidential election campaign most higher ups in the democratic party didnt start listening to the winds of change until it was too late, but instead focused on perpetuating obama's legacy; no wonder they lost the election.

Secret listener

Someone who, often accidentally, secretly listens to another person taking doing a turd.

Running a tap whilst doing a turd is a good way to avoid secret listeners.

John: “I need a turd, but I’m worried there might be secret listeners”

Peter: “I understand your concerns, have you thought about running a tap?”
