Phrase to hear things
Text In this podcast, the phrase "to hear things" means to hear a sound that didn't actually exist, or to hear imaginary sounds: "I thought I heard someone calling my name, but that's impossible. I must be hearing things. The phrase "Have you heard the one about (something)?" is used to ask if someone has already heard the joke that one wants to share: "Have you heard the one about why the chicken crossed the road?" The phrase "I've heard that one before" means that one doesn't believe someone's excuse or explanation: "Sheila tried to tell the teacher that the dog ate her homework, but he said, 'I've heard that one before.'" Finally, the phrase "to never hear the end of (something)" means that people will continue to talk about something, especially an embarrassing thing, for a long time: "If this idea doesn't work, I'll never hear the end of it."
