Tune in but Tune out

Phrase: When you, someone else, or even a group of people listen to a conversation (most often it's an argument or fight) between others to get all the juicy details, but don't want those who are having the conversation to know that you're listening to them, tell your fellow listeners to do this. Its primary use is to prevent getting yourself or others involved in the confrontation, and allows you to listen for the details.
Guy 1: Hey, the boss and the new guy are having an argument! Sounds like he won't be here much longer!

Guy 2: Tune in but Tune out, man! Get the details but don't get involved!

Fruity Tune

A song, either on a guy's MP3 player or CD, that is played within a group of male friends. This song is either a love or sad song. Usually these songs are played in a car. Since the guy who has the song on the MP3 player or the CD is confined by his group of friends, the friends will ridicule him. The song does not necessarily have to be fruity itself, but the fact that the guy is playing it in a car filled with his friends will automatically make it fruity.
*I Don't Want To Miss A Thing comes on*
Jeremy- Hahahaha you're seriously playing this song right now?!
Trevor- Dammit! Another fruity tune came on...
Derek- It's okay buddy. It's not like you're getting laid anytime soon anyways.
