earphone phaker
When a person has earphones in apparently listening to music, but in reality listening to other people's conversations, usually about how creepy that person is.
Other people think he's not paying attention because he's jamming to music, so it's a very affective illusion.
Usually employed by creepers, stalkers, or when a person happens to overhear something about themselves, in which they turn down or off their music to hear what is being said.
Another similar illusion is pretending to sleep. People then open up and start talking about things they may not while one is awake.

earphone maneuver
When a person listening to music through a pair of earphones is confronted another person and takes an earphone out of only one ear. This usually happens because they know the person who confronted them will only want to engage in small talk and, therefore, don't find it worth the effort of taking off both earphones.
Person 1: *spots person 2 after class* Dude, class was so boring today.
Person 2: *does the earphone maneuver* Yeah... it was.
Person 1: Yeah, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow!
Person 2: Later. *puts earphone back on and continues listening to music*

eephus
An Eephus pitch, in baseball, is considered a "junk" pitch with very low speed. The delivery from the pitcher has very low velocity and usually catches the hitter off-guard. It was invented by Rip Sewell of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1930s. And it was named by outfielder Maurice Van Robays. When asked what it meant, van Robays replied “Eephus ain’t nothin’.” But when Sewell asked why he named it that he said "Eephus means nothin' and so does the pitch"
