Have an earful 听长篇大论
    2024-05-16  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Whenever Tom and Mark start having relationship issues, I’m always the one to have an earful about it.

B: That’s because they trust you. Yesterday I had an earful from my mom after she heard about my speeding ticket.

Note: “Earful” is a noun referring to a considerable amount of information or a lengthy oral reprimand. The term “earful” is derived from the combination of the words “ear” and “full,” which aptly captures the essence of its meaning. When someone receives an earful, they are figuratively receiving a full load of information or a verbal dressing-down.
