Ears Dropping

Ears Dropping

To intentionally stop breathing (or breathe extremely shallowly and quietly) so you can better hear a whispered or low-volume conversation you're secretly trying to eavesdrop on.
"I was ears dropping so hard outside their bedroom door that I almost passed out when they started talking about the surprise party."
