I would sugest googling it

be all ears

Should this be merged with "be all ears"?

be all ears and all ears

Be not essential to the idiom. Other copulas work, eg, seem, appear, become. DCDuring (talk) 05:19, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Redirect be all ears to all ears.  --Lambiam 19:56, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Redirect as above. Even ignoring instances where it’s preceded by a form of seem/become/appear, there are at least three clear instances where all ears isn’t preceded by a form of be on GoogleBooks ([1],[2],[3]), though many more where it is, so this proposal seems logical. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

• Done. Merged the translations, but a few remain as I don't understand them. GreyishWorm (talk) 23:50, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
