large ears
Conspicuous hearing appendages
Ears that are bigger than typical, whether on humans, animals, or objects.
The phrase is purely descriptive when referring to physical features: The basset hound's large ears dragged on the ground.
Large ears on humans may invite teasing but are also associated in some cultures with good fortune or wisdom.
Figuratively, someone with large ears is an eager eavesdropper.
