Literally half of "social cues" are pretending not to acknowledge something and hoping that leaving it unsaid draws attention to it.

The other half is ignoring something in order to not draw attention to it. An old book on manners said something like, one says "excuse me" for a burp, but if the gas emerges in the other direction, no one is to acknowledge it happened.
