When you have issues with hearing and your ears, they are Earshoes, suggesting you are wearing shoes on your ears but really just have hearing issues and can't/haven't heard or have auditory processing difficulty. Example, Paul yells upstairs to
Pete, 'Shit man, strewth it's straya'.
Pete says (he heard), :the shit fan and spewed out every layer'. Paul knows
Pete didn't hear right and tells Pete, 'you are wearing your
ear shoes' and to 'take them off and to try again.'
Jo say to Bec"I didn't hear what you said',....my earshoes misheard and what was it that you said again?"
Oh those earshoes
jo they are not your friend,
always becoming a problem.
