As stated before, a good example of English Selective Britishness is the use of country names in wins/losses in sport (England won, Britain lost/Britain won, Scotland lost)... Yet it works both ways!
For example, in a recent Televised poll, many (NOT all, I'm not generalising!) Scots said they want all ties to be cut from England, to preserve Scottish heritage etc... Yet these same people expect Scottish TV presenters etc. to remain presenting English TV!?

Scotland is currently still part of Britain, hence their own ability to display traits of Selective Britishness... That's not to say England isn't guilty!
Let's keep Britain firmly in place... it means more public holidays for both countries! :D

Get the selective britishness mug.The act of listening to only the things a person wants to hear. This can lead to a complete topic change.
Matt: Yo are you watching this Rockies game? It's nuts!
Ben: uhh. I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work out.
Matt: (thinking to himself) Damn. That's some crazy selective hearing if I ever saw it.

Get the The Sele mug.OH MY GOD!.......that's all she says.
She's also a picture whore, who eventually deletes every picture because she is never satisfied.
Other than that, she is pretty fucking cool, and has a chola ass.
Oh yeah, she also cries when the PETA animal cruelty commercials come on TV.

Get the Selenne mug.Selena is a girl you would never regret meeting , sometimes she lies but always tells the truth then she can make you laugh in any moment and her smile can light up a whole room . Selena is also very thick and short and skinny . She would be mean but then she makes it a joke , she’s a perfect girlfriend and if she ever let you go it was for the best for you guys but if you ever let her go you was just missing out on a beautiful world .

Get the Selena mug.Continuously posting and reposting every meme that supports your own point of view, without regard to accuracy.
James posts his extreme right-wing memes to our thread daily. But no one is persuaded by his selective memeory.
