over-listening

1.The act of listening to the music that someone else that you're not even with is listening to because you have no radio or cd player of your own. usually occuring at a beach or a park.

That wierdo with the ugly beach blanket is over-listening to our tunes and singing along like he's a Rock Star. Let's put on "Disturbed" and really rock his beach blanket

Over-listen

Blatant and obviously listening in to a conversation that you're not involved in, but aren't excluded from either. Used when admitting to listening in.

Similar to eavesdropping, but without the sneaky connotation.

I heard you mention the party so I started to over-listen. Do we need to give anyone a ride?
