Binge listening

When you repeatedly listen to a song, artist or album for an extended amount of time, the most common being that its stuck in your head or you have a personal connection to it. This is a very common occurrence with teenagers. One could consider listening to Top 40 radio stations for hours on end a form of binge listening because one can hear the same song 3 times in one hour.
Teen 1- Dude I've been binge listening to Master of Puppets for the past 6 hours.
Teen 2- Good choice man.

Synonym of masturbation. This phrase dates back to 2013 when Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc allegedly walked in on teammate Moises Henriques having a wank whilst conducting an interview.

secondhand listening

When you hear everything that is said nearby, but you really don’t want to.
I learned all about what it means to be an adult while secondhand listening to drunk people at our backyard pool parties outside my bedroom window on school nights.

Ghost-listening

Also, pseudo-listening.
When you're talking to someone and you really just want them to finish, either to say something yourself or to get away from them, so you don't really listen, but "as the person is talking, your audible memory catches everything and some of it probably slips through, but your conscious mind dismisses it like a ghost."
A: "And then he goes to-"
B: "Yup"
A: "... his car and then-"
B: "Uh-huh"
A: "Are you ghost-listening me?"
B: "Huh"
A: "..."
B: "interesting"

Reactive Listening

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!
