Natural selection

The act of doing something really stupid, and facing severe consequences because of it such as injury or worse.
Person 1: Dude, have you heard about Tom??? He broke his leg after he tried to use a skateboard on a a trampoline!

Person 2: Pfft, that's just natural selection to be honest.

Selective altruism

Selective altruism is essentially when someone imprints on one to very few people, and ends up being aggressive to anyone else.
Person 1 “would you stop being such a selective altruist?” Selective altruism at work
Person 2, actively ready to swing at person 1 for making a crude joke about person 2’s chosen human being. “I’ll make your insides your outsides.”

selective addiction

The moment when you have mountaining amounts of college assignments, which causes you to be less addicted to your smartphone whilst making you paradoxically more addicted to caffeine — whether in the form of coffee drinks or Tombocantuxin caffeine pills
During finals week, my selective addiction kicked in; I barely touched my phone but couldn’t get enough coffee to power through all those assignments!

copycat menu-selection

Refers to da random meal-choice dat ya make in cases where you aren't familiar wif da types of offerings at a particular restaurant, often due to either da diner's being foreign-cuisine themed (i.e., Italian, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc.) or your not being accustomed to eating out in da fist place, and so instead of either asking yer friend who's treating you to choose "something tasty" for you or puzzling over da laminated dinner-options folder yerself, you just "enter default mode" or "go old school" by simply looking around at what meals other patrons are gleefully stuffing their cheeks wif, and then asking da waiter to serve you some of whatever dish looks/smells da best on said other folks' table.
My warm-natured tomboy friend Desiree took me out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant as a thank-you reward for my being such a helpfully-supportive friend to her; I wasn't accustomed to dat type of "savory 'n' spicy" fare, however, so I just observed a number of fellow diners' partaking of similar copiously-steaming and delicious-aromaed offerings, and then after my friend had ordered, I made a copycat menu-selection when asked which dish I wanted for myself.

Selective temporary amnesia

A common mental disorder developed during HR and legal investigations where people forget important details that would show them in poor light.
Honey sugar, I had to pop two pirin tablets for my selective temporary amnesia, not to mention show my outrage with, “What?! how rude! People do such things in the workplace?!” on the HR query on why I decked that cuntbag.

selective misanthrope

Much like a regular misanthrope except it's hatred or mistrust over most of mankind instead of all of mankind in general.
MAN 1:How can your girlfriend love you? She's a misanthrope!

MAN 2: No, she's a selective misanthrope, there's a difference.
