wow, I’ve been away for a while but it doesn’t mean that I was sort of couch potato!! There was something wrong with my PC. Anyway, I’ve heard about this slang before. That was an american movie and there was a scene where mom was talking to her son. In the middle of their conversation, mom said : Hey, you listening to me? and the boy said in a crazy way: Yes mom, I’m all ears…. cannot remmeber the name of the movie sorry!
Yes, I’ve missed you Hadi! Glad your PC Is better.
