(n.) 1. that triangular-shaped (more or less) bit of cartilaginous skin that sticks out in front of your auditory canal [because you can press it down with your fingers and plug your ears with it, serving the same function as an eyelid, without the convenience of a muscle to let you close it off without your hands]. 2. What you wish for when you want to block out some sound as easily as we do an unwelcome sight with our eyelids.

"What is that horrible music?" "Rimsky-Korsakov. I happen to enjoy it." "Well, can you turn it down while I'm here?" "Nope. Shut your earlids if you have a problem: My house, my music."
