Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.
Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.
Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!

Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

Get the emug. An E-Boy is a boy, usually a fuckboi, who dresses nice; listens to juiceworld, X, and probably Lil Peep every now and then. He has a lot of hoes, but only one or two main hoes. He doesn't know how to appreciate life, and is probably still stuck on an ex that left him, which is why he can't have emotional attachments with any of his hoes. If he does feel as if he's "catching feelings" for someone, he will immediately block them out of his life and move on to the next chick. It's a systematic way of breaking hearts. Anyways, he sucks.
