Ear Wax

Although it may look like wax and be called wax, you can’t make candles from it. It’s a semi-solid varying in colour from almost white, through yellow to dark brown, secreted from modified sweat glands within the ear. Its purpose is to protect and moisturise the delicate skin inside the ears. What can happen, though, is that over-secretion causes a build up within the ear which can cause partial deafness, discomfort or pain and may require its removal. To do this a special liquid can be obtained from pharmacists, although this is not always successful. Alternatively the build up of wax may be removed by syringing the ears with water or with a specialised vacuum extractor, these last two should only be done by a qualified medical practitioner. On no account should you go digging around in there with cotton swabs or trying to melt it out with ear wax extraction candles.

I've got so much ear wax I can't hear a thing.

ear whipping

A sermon; especially one administered at a soup kitchen prior to food being served.

Bum #1: Hey, let's go to the Bread of Life mission tonight for dinner!

Bum #2: NO, NOT THERE!!! They gave an ear whipping almost four hours long last night for a scoop of mystery meat and a spoonful of smashed potatoes with lumpy gravy on them!!!

Ear Badgers

Metaphorical miniature badgers that curl up inside your ear canal, their furry coats preventing you from hearing properly. They act as a kind of reverse Babelfish and will sometimes completely mistranslate what you are meant to have heard.

Person A: "Do you want to go for a sandwich?" Person B (with ear badgers): "What? Do I want to get sunburnt?!"

ear chandelier

A long, dangling earring that contains long strands of shiny metal and/or gemstones. Very much adds to a woman's look, and frames her face and smile.

My girl looks hot when she wears the ear chandeliers I gave her.
