vleči na ušésa to prick up one's ears
zamašiti, mašiti si ušésa to stop (up) one's ears
zardeti do ušés to blush to the roots of one's hair; to blush to one's ears
v ušésih mi zveni, šumí my ears are ringing (ali are burning)
stene imajo ušésa (figurativno) the walls have ears, arhaično little pitchers have long ears
