bend someone's ear
talk to someone for a long time, often annoyingly or at length · monopolize a conversation
What's the situation?
Ever been stuck listening to someone talk non-stop about their favorite topic? 😅 That's when someone is 'bending your ear'! It means they're talking to you for a long time, sometimes a bit excessively, about something that might not be super interesting to you. It's often used when someone goes on and on, perhaps without noticing you're trying to politely escape!
