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!

Deductive Sophism

The use of deductive reasoning in bad faith—presenting logically valid arguments with false premises as if they were proven, or demanding deductive certainty in domains where it's impossible. Deductive Sophism exploits the power of valid form to conceal false content: the argument is valid, therefore it must be true. Or it demands that all reasoning be deductive, dismissing induction, abduction, and inference to the best explanation as inferior. It's sophistry with syllogisms: using logic's form to hide content's failure.
"All politicians are corrupt; she's a politician; therefore she's corrupt. Valid form, false premise. Deductive Sophism: using logic's validity to hide the premise's falsity. The argument looked good, which was the point. Form over substance, validity over truth."

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.

Selective Black

Describes an individual who engages with Black identity, culture, or community on a conditional basis—supporting aspects that align with their comfort, image, or personal gain while distancing from deeper commitments that require solidarity, sacrifice, or accountability. Often expressed through an “à la carte” mindset, this approach embraces certain expressions of Blackness while neglecting or excluding others—particularly at the intersections of queerness, disability, and marginalized gender identities. It reflects a curated connection to Blackness that prioritizes optics over liberation, and preference over principle.
The everyday use of “Black pride” on social media, while dismissing the struggles of Black LGBTQIA+ folks, revealed a Selective Black mindset—an à la carte approach to identity that prioritizes aesthetics over collective liberation.

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!
