Here are a few phrases I have coined.  You may find them useful, or at least humorous.

Blurry Hearing

The talent for hearing a conversation incorrectly.  Related to “selective hearing,” which is the keying on particular words (names or sexual terms, especially), but with “blurry hearing,” what you thought you heard wasn’t even actually said.

Stealth Blond

Seemingly non-blondes who still manage to have “blonde moments.”

Metro Redneck

Someone who lives in the city and drives a pickup, but isn’t a contractor.
