He was telling my ears off

We looked at each other and said, “malaphor”! It is a mash up of “talking my ears off” (excessive talking) and “telling me off” (scold someone). Telling also sounds like yelling, which I think also was going on.
Malaphors 
Ha ha we were cracking up about this yesterday!!
