Reactive Listening 

The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.
I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.

He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!

Antonym: Active Listening

Explosive reactive armour 

Initially designed to strengthen tanks, a reactive armour, that explodes when hit by either kinetic energy or high explosive antitank (HEAT) projectiles, disrupting the round, and degrading its penetration. Explosive reactive armour is most effective against HEAT rounds.

The new Russian Kontakt-5 ERA is not completely destroyed when hit - it still functions as armour after exploding.

Anti-tank weapons work by piercing the armour and exploding inside, thus killing the crew.

Explosive reactive armour counteracts the force of the explosion by creating another explosion on itself. Against shaped charged missiles, this type of armour really comes into it's own.

The design was patented by Manfred Held in the 1970's.
ERA will save the lives of the crew and allow the tank to fight another day.
