Selective hearing

This can be defined as when a person only responds to specific instructions, words or sentences.

This mostly applies to toddlers and young children. Some children would ignore a call from an adult but would immediately respond when the adult offered them a treat

E.g selective hearing :
The boy only responds to"come and eat".

select market

Of or relating to cars that have been done up to look blingy or fast. They range from poorly done paint and stickers, aftermarket kits that are unpainted or painted the wrong color, spoilers, pointless large mufflers, curb feelers, etc. Can almost always be related to dubs on hoopties or cars that are fast and furious.

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.

Selective color

The horribly outdated and tacky way newbie photographers show off their brand new editing skill. Editing a photograph so that a part of it is in color and the rest is in black and white. While this edit does work in some rare occasions, selecting parts of the photo with no relevance adds to the hatred of this dying fad.

...Then she asked the photographer to edit her kids jeans using selective color. What is so special about those jeans, and why do they need to outshine her darling children?
