Yawn deafness
A condition where, at the peak of a big yawn, one suffers a few seconds of deafness due to the opening and closing of the eustachian tubes connecting the ear and throat. Opportunists who know of another's yawn deafness use this condition to say something to the person yawning that they don't want them to hear - usually an insult, but spoken under breath or in a normal conversational tone. Better practice is to do it with friends present who will all hear what you said. A sizeable yawn can open up a good 5 seconds of deafness opportunity.
NOTE: Not everyone suffers yawn deafness, so there is always a risk when you try it on someone new.

Domestic deafness
A condition similar to that of domestic blindness, again usually affecting the males of the household. Largely effects teenagers also. It is when someone repeats themself over and over and the other party does not respond. It's like talking to a brick wall!
Domestic deafness is when a wife gently asks her husband: "Darling, can you please put on some washing?
Male: No response, (most likely staring at the football game).
"... darling?"
"...darling?"
"OI YOU!"
Finally a response: "Oh! Sorry. What?"
Related terms are talking to a brick wall, speaking into thin air, i've been a-knocking but no-one's home, or the lights are on but no-one's home
