'stop listening' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'solicitor describes a french female' is the wordplay.
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (someone who solicits business).
'describes' indicates putting letters inside (describe can mean to form the outline of).
'a french female' becomes 'une' ('a' translated into French, feminine).
'tout' enclosing 'une' is 'TUNE OUT'.

'as' is the link.
