Definition
Plural of earful; large amounts of criticism, complaints, or verbal abuse that someone receives.
Etymology
From 'earful' (as much as the ear can take), from 'ear' + '-ful' (a suffix meaning full of or containing). 'Earfuls' adds another plural, creating a humorous exaggeration.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'get an earful' is interesting because it uses the ear metaphorically—your ear isn't actually full, but you're getting a loud or intense dose of someone's words, showing how language uses body parts for emotions!
