TALKING SOMEONE EAR OFF Meaning and
Definition
-
The phrase "talking someone's ear off" is an idiom used to convey excessive or incessant talking, often to the point of annoyance or boredom for the listener. It refers to a situation where an individual talks so much and for such a long period of time that it feels as if they are metaphorically removing the listener's ear by bombarding them with nonstop words or information.
When someone "talks someone's ear off," they tend to dominate a conversation by incessantly speaking without allowing the other person an opportunity to contribute or engage in a back-and-forth dialogue. The talker may exhibit a lack of social awareness by failing to notice cues of disinterest or impatience from the listener. This expression is usually used in informal settings to describe a conversational imbalance, where one person takes complete control over the discussion, often rambling or going off on tangents.
The phrase suggests a negative connotation, as excessive talking can be disruptive and cause frustration or irritation for the person who is being bombarded with an abundance of words. It often implies that the speaker is oblivious to the impact of their lengthy speech and the desire for the listener to have a balanced and interactive conversation.
