The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.
I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.
He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!
Antonym: Active Listening

When Ryan Mayle acts like he is listening but really he is focused on other things... Generally he just yups, and yeahs a person while they are speaking. Quite possibly and more than likely, he is thinking about the future Petty Officer Mayle or tater tots.

A NON-LISTENER is simply a selfish twat who utterly refuses to listen to ANYONE, even their own children, family, friends, etc. Incredibly selfish in their existence, they will blow off even the most caring and appreciative folks in their life. Also commonly found to abuse alcohol, which exacerbates their monumental NON-LISTENING. They can usually HEAR you, but do not LISTEN.
Also refers to children who do not LISTEN properly and pay attention. In most cases, it has been found that NON-LISTENER children do not LISTEN because their parents DO NOT LISTEN.

"That piss-drunk cock is a real and genuine NON-LISTENER."
"Motherfucker won't even listen to his own son on the phone, total non-listener."
"That little peckerhead doesn't listen because his parents do not listen. Non-listener!"

Consuming an entire podcast series at once (or several episodes at a time until every installment has been heard).

I just binge listened to every episode of the Artie Quitter Podcast, so I'm completely caught up with everyone who's been listening to the series, from the beginning.
