Improvised earplugs (or actual ear tampons!) made out of small wads of bungwipe or nasal tissue.
Most frequently used to
help prevent an unwelcome ear whipping; can also be used to stem the tide of bright red blood from the ears when one has been exposed to very unpleasant sounds (
like rap or
metal to somebody who normally listens to adult contemporary, etc.)
{Hoolio}: Hey Husoos!!! What'
s with the Cleanax in your ears?
{Husoos}: Those are my aural tampons; some bungsnoipe was playing sludge metal
music on this big-ass ghetto blaster on the bus I was just on, so I stuck those things in my ears to
help stop the damn noise before some other rider beat the living tweedle out of the jerk who was blasting that nasty-azz "
music"!
{Dominique}: Hey Hozay, what's with the wads of bungwipe in your ears?
{Hozay}: My ears started to bleed after I watched an R/C helicopter video on
YouTube but I didn't know that there was going to be an Anthrax choon accompanying it, so I made me some aural tampons and stuffed those fuckers in my ears!
