When somebody uploads a group picture on Facebook, and doesn't tag the people they don't like.
Dang man, I was hoping she'd tag me in the picture... she tagged all the cool people though. Guess she did some selective tagging
When some makes a post to appeal to a certain person, or make a post to strike emotions.
Hey bro did you post that because the girls would look at your sick bod, its kind of Selective posting.
when an event occurs naturally, especially involving animals
John: I hit and killed a deer today.
Paul: I think that's illegal.
John: How? Isn't it natural selection anyway? I naturally hit it?
The act of choosing what one one not only hears but is actually listening
Juicy. My canine soulmate ,is , the best of selective listening.
just like 'selective hearing', but with regards to having knowledge. Admitting or not, to having that knowledge, as one seems fit.
Linda was trained on each part of her new job. However, she forgot part B, so she claims she wasn't trained for it. She's using 'selective knowledge' to cover her ass.
As stated before, a good example of English Selective Britishness is the use of country names in wins/losses in sport (England won, Britain lost/Britain won, Scotland lost)... Yet it works both ways!
For example, in a recent Televised poll, many (NOT all, I'm not generalising!) Scots said they want all ties to be cut from England, to preserve Scottish heritage etc... Yet these same people expect Scottish TV presenters etc. to remain presenting English TV!?
Scotland is currently still part of Britain, hence their own ability to display traits of Selective Britishness... That's not to say England isn't guilty!
Let's keep Britain firmly in place... it means more public holidays for both countries! :D

The act of listening to only the things a person wants to hear. This can lead to a complete topic change.
Matt: Yo are you watching this Rockies game? It's nuts!
Ben: uhh. I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work out.
Matt: (thinking to himself) Damn. That's some crazy selective hearing if I ever saw it.
