A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.
A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

Sculptures by the Selective
An Australian event held on beaches, including Cottesloe, WA, where disabled people are only allowed access two days out of fourteen.
Ensuring that the beach matting is only laid out on those days prevents 'visual disruption', according to the organisers, and has other tangible benefits including minimal environmental disruption because it is only open to cripples on weekdays.
Next year the organisation plans to further develop their commitment to exclusivity by targeting and discriminating against other minority groups who may be visually disruptive due to their skin colour, flamboyance or utterly unacceptable forms of clothing that may reflect a person's culture.
In 2019, Sculptures will introduce the 'Sculptures ban the Sarong' campaign so that beachgoers and artists will be less distracted by potentially visually disruptive beachwear.

'We hold our commitment to ableism close to our hearts. In a perfect world, someone would make sure marginalised populations were excluded even more, but we've only been able to manage twelve days.'

When people want equality in situations where they've historically been disadvantaged, but want tradition in situations where they've historically been advantaged.

Much like the term ‘selective hearing’, selective bitch is when a female chooses who she is bitchy towards, or where and when she would like to be bitchy.
She was such a bitch about it then, but now, she doesn’t seem to care, talk about a a selective bitch.

Someone who is merciless towards select individuals. The S.S./Selective Savage can be chill or even good to others.
I am selectively savage - I trash tekashi all the goddamn time, for example, but I love my family, friends, and animals.

A situation where someone reads a variety of materials on a particular subject, but that person rejects information or materials -- even if they are factually accurate -- because this information or materials do not support one's beliefs or opinions.
She's a diehard Republican, and she's got select-o-vision. If she reads any articles or books that make Democrats look good -- even if the stuff is true -- she wants to ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist.
