When you’re in an online argument and someone only mentions a part of your argument that they can use against you to make it seem like you lost is a selective reader.
I was in an argument with someone Twitter who only used some parts of my texts to counter argue. What a selective reader!

When someone is being jumped (using someone stronger than the each group member individually) the person would choose one person through hating them the most or just at chance and give selectively kick his ass.

a person who only associates with who they want they choose and pick their friends
they're also mean to whoever they want and have power to who they wanna hang around
and are not afraid to tell someone that they are just associates or they don't like them

Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.
Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.
Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!

Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."
Corey: "Yeah, mate."

Flipping out at a moment that you selected of a time/situation. Rather than doing it any time any place! 😆🤕👀🙄

When those annoying girls on snap choose what to reply to and just leave you on open for 48 hours otherwise
You: Bro why does she leave me on opened sometimes but sometimes she wants to reply
Bro: Honestly she’s just selective replying at this point.

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.
