| Phrase | all ears |
| Text | The phrase "all ears," in this podcast, means to be very eager to hear something or listen to someone: "Tell us about your trip! We're all ears!" The phrase "to keep (one's) ears open" means to always be listening and hoping to hear some useful information: "Please keep your ears open for any news about the hiring decision." The phrase "to be up to (one's) ears in (something)" means to have a lot of something, especially a lot of work to do: "We're up to our ears in bills, and we don't have enough money to pay them all!" Finally, the phrase "to go in one ear and out the other" is used to describe how someone hears something but then forgets it right away: "When Alicia asks her husband to do something, he says he'll do it, but it's in one ear and out the other." |
