It took three erasers to the back of the head for the teacher's question about justice versus courage in plato's the republic to filter through my peripheral hearing. I was busy watching leprachaun acrobatics on the chalkboard.

Selective hearing is a bit like WHEN UR DUMB ASS PARENTS call ur name and u say what and they don't say anything till u go to them.
Parent:"Jimmy!! "
Jimmy:what!!
*silence*
Jimmy:WHAT MOM/DAD!!
*Silence again
(This is literally selective hearing)
