selective double standard

A double standard based more on somebody's personal negative feelings than on fairness.
Lindsay the supervisor would order people she hated to do more work than everyone else (move the goalposts on them) and was quicker to try and get them fired if she hated them (a negative feeling towards them she would always deny having or say someone else felt that way if asked simply, plainly, and directly) whether they did their jobs as well as everyone else or not. She lived by the same kind of selective double standard she would always try and poke fun at others for having.

Selective Lyricism

When people only sing the popular lyrics of a trending song to look cool.
"Cool" girl: Certified loverboy certified pedophiles! I LOVE KENDRICK LAMAR
Person: Why're you using Selective Lyricism"? Sing the whole song?
"Cool" girl: I don't know the whole song. I just like this part.
Person: All for clout.

Example 2:
Girl: THEY NOT LIKE US *3, *gibberish until the next "THEY NOT LIKE US"
Boy 1: Why isn't she singing the rest bro? She told she listens to KDot.
Boy 2: MAn she's using "Selective Lyricism" to fit in. Bet she can't decode this song.
Boy 1: Yeah i wonder if she knows that it's a Disstrack.
Girl: THEY NOT LIKE US!

selective obliviousness

Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

That one family who can afford eating out, vacations, purchasing a new car, buying LEGO sets, action figures, textbooks, and DVDs, yet somehow still too broke to afford buying any new gaming console beyond PS1.
The Sherbrooke family is such family with selective affordability — they've got all the LEGO sets, action figures, textbooks, and DVDs but still rock a broken PS1 with no replacement like it's the latest console!
