Falling on deaf ears

5:05

it

5:05

but the expression to fall on deaf ears

5:09

means they were not listening to or

5:11

willing to consider your ideas or

5:14

suggestions

5:16

they fell on deaf ears

5:21

i'm sorry but

5:23

our delicious drinks company deserves

5:25

more than this you really let us down

5:27

to let someone down means to disappoint

5:31

them so you disappointed the important

5:34

clients

5:35

this isn't good

5:38

your boss is furious

5:40

very very angry and he says

5:44

hey

5:45

you really dropped the ball in there to

5:47

drop the ball it means you had a

5:50

responsibility but you completely failed

5:53

at it we lost the most important clients

5:55

in the world because of you and now our

5:58

company is going to go under

6:00

when a company goes under they go

6:03

bankrupt no more money they fail they

6:06

close

6:07

yes individual people can go bankrupt no

6:10

more money but we only use to go under

6:14

for businesses

6:15

not people

6:18
