ear hustle
Listening in on someone else's chat just to find out a little something extra.
I was in the kitchen and heard my dad talking about my allowance. I was like, 'you're gonna regret this.'
I overheard my teacher talking about me. I was like, 'why are you talking about me?'
I eavesdropped on my mom and my sister. I found out my sister was getting a new phone.
