Get the Tonecist mug.a condition of being oblivious and/or clueless regarding the existence of social cues, nuances, mores, norms, et cetera, within a given social subset, or more often than not totally and completely and all the time. This is distinct from the more estimable traits of being indifferent or irreverant, where one is aware of social expectations, cues, et cetera, but simply doesn't care or flat out mocks and/or rejects them. Socially tone deaf people are blind, deef and dumb to the normative social standards and expectations of behavior around them, and demonstrate this with regular incidences of egregious and embarassing faux~pas and party fowling. Consistent responses to the socially tone deaf include head shaking, eye rolling, clandestined warnings under one's breath, and quick-thinking, opportunistic ditching. Syn (masc): fuckstick, (fem): bobblehead.
-Look out, here comes everybody's favorite conversationalist; for pete's sake don't get her started you know socially tone deaf she is.
-Bob is so socially tone deaf, I can't take him anywhere with me.

Get the Tone Tags mug.Breed of hipster who dresses exclusively in earth tones - tans, grays, dark greens, etc. - and sometimes other muted colors. To the untrained eye (i.e. someone only accustomed to hipsters who wear bright, multicolored and/or metallic clothes), an earth tone hipster may fly under the radar.
Earth tone hipsters often have intellectual inclinations and their 'quieter' clothing (compared to that of their loudly-colored cousins) reflects their 'introspective' tendencies.

Nick: Hey, you said your school is full of hipsters but I don't see any metallic silver leggings.
