Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to daily easy English expression, the bud guest.
Today we got a great expression.
For 1064 it is, talked my ear off.
Oh yeah, I think you can understand this idiom, can't you?
When we were in the car, Mikey, my four year old son, talked my ear off.
When I was at work, my boss came into my office and despite me being so busy, he talked
my ear off.
So what do you think?
Is talking your ear off good or bad?
And you know what it means, right?
I'll give you the answer, yes or no, or good or bad and the explanation after you check
out the dialogue.
How was the party?
Um, it was okay.
Okay, I thought you were having a great time with Tom.
Well, he talked my ear off and I couldn't escape.
Ah, there you go.
So conversation between a man and a woman, the guy asks, how was the party?
The woman says it was okay.
The guy says okay, what?
I thought you were having a great time with Tom and she says, well, he talked my ear off
just like Mikey, just like my boss and I couldn't escape.
Ah, to escape, to leave the situation.
So obviously to talk someone's ear off is not a good thing.
It's on the negative side.
It means you or whoever is talking is talking too much.
You need to stop talking.
You need to end the conversation, stop your chit chat and leave the person alone.
Don't talk someone's ear off.
You're talking so much.
You know, the sound travels in sound waves, right?
Vibrations.
That's how sound moves through the air, right?
And you're talking, those sound vibrations are hitting my ear so much, my ear is vibrating.
It's vibrating so much that eventually my ear just falls off.
So now I only have one ear.
Please don't talk that ear off.
Because I talk your ears off, I know my podcast can get really long.
So I'll end it right now.
I don't want to talk your ear off.
If you're listening in July of what is this, 2022, I was going to say 2017, 2022.
If you're listening in July, today is July 15th, our sale ends this Sunday and Sunday
is what is it?
July 17th, all right?
That's the final day for our summer sale.
So if you're thinking about it, if you haven't joined, you need to do that.
