Dessert Selectivity

Noun: The culinary problem of having unlimited wants and needs for after dinner sweets but only a finite number of choices.
Don't get mad at me for eating the last piece of homemade apple pie, you had plenty of time to eat it but instead you used poor dessert selectivity and chose to eat a handful of tootsie rolls.

I would like to get a 1964 Chevy, but all the ones that I've seen have hydraulics or tiny wheels. I don't really want something from the select market.

girl scout cookie selectivity

The quality of still being able to manage oneself with something one wishes to indulge in while this one thing is not readily available year round. One does not buy all the girl scout cookies one can. Instead one remains prudent and only buys what one will enjoy and in a timely manner. This can also simply be called self-discipline, but these cookies are a real test.
Despite having the desire to buy many different types and boxes so that she could ravenously devour them to the point of shame. Brenda employed her girl scout cookie selectivity and bought one box of four different types so that she may enjoy two cookies per day for a few months.

Selective Black

Describes an individual who engages with Black identity, culture, or community on a conditional basis—supporting aspects that align with their comfort, image, or personal gain while distancing from deeper commitments that require solidarity, sacrifice, or accountability. Often expressed through an “à la carte” mindset, this approach embraces certain expressions of Blackness while neglecting or excluding others—particularly at the intersections of queerness, disability, and marginalized gender identities. It reflects a curated connection to Blackness that prioritizes optics over liberation, and preference over principle.
The everyday use of “Black pride” on social media, while dismissing the struggles of Black LGBTQIA+ folks, revealed a Selective Black mindset—an à la carte approach to identity that prioritizes aesthetics over collective liberation.
