I have always heard it "to chew someone's ear off", which means to talk and talk and talk...! The idea is that one person is talking non-stop, and the unfortunate one who's ear is being chewed off can't find an excuse to get away, so they're forced to stay and listen.

My parents don't speak native English (neither do I but I speak good english 
) so I'm turning to you guys: what does the expression "to chew on one's ear" mean? (Except for what it means literally 
)
