selective syndrome

Selective schools are schools where certain 6th graders are chosen based on their selective test results. During their time in a selective school, they may suffer 'selective syndrome' which is when they loose their state of intellectuality (sometimes go insane, similar to being high/drunk) and become, what mainstream people call, 'normal' students.

"Hey Janice, what happened to Carol over there. She looks a bit unstable"
"Oh don't worry about her, she's got selective syndrome. It'll wear off sooner or later, hopefully"
"Well I hope it does since we have a maths test next period"

Selective hearing

When you're in a zone and you're only able to hear what your mind is focused on. Others think you're ignoring them when they talk but the truth is they failed to gain your attention first.

My wife swears I was ignoring her but I have selective hearing, my attention was on the TV and I was completely unaware she was talking to me.

Selective feminism

Selective feminism refers to many feminists who only want equality when it benefits women, but neglects it otherwise. For example, wants men to only suffer blue collar jobs, doesn't care about male homelessness, etc but also demanding special privileges for women. Many feminists are this way nowadays. Some examples include Liza Mundy, Hanna Rosin, and to an extent also Elizabeth Badinter.

Friend 1: my college soci prof is hella biased.

Selective Bitch

When a girl doesn't like you or want to be friendly, despite the fact she barley knows you, and makes assumptions based on your general appearance.

Girl 2: Aww, thanks!
Guy 1: Sweet, thanks!
Guy 2: Can I have a piece?
Girl 1: Nope.
Guy 2: Why not?
Girl 1: I don't like you.
Guy 2: Why?
Girl 1: You annoy me.
Guy 2: ...you don't even know who I am.
Girl 1: Did I say I did?
Guy 2: Wow, you sure are a Selective Bitch.
