‘Friends,Romans,countrymen,lendme your ears’,said Mark Anthony in JuliusCaesar when he wanted people to listen.When you are“‘all ears’,you are listeningattentively.If you‘don’t believe yourears’,you’re incredulous at what you hear.When the information embarrasses you,it“‘makes your ears burn’,Better,in thiscase,to ignore the comments and‘turn adeaf ear’,or pretend not to hear,by lettingthe news‘go in one ear and out the oth-er’.
