“Deaf as a post “ hoặc “deaf as an adder” = điếc đặc, điếc lòi ra. 

Ví dụ 
I'm deaf as a post. But I'm talkin' about you, honey. Who was you? 

Facebook is many things but stupid isn't one of them. The company appears deaf as a post when it comes to rolling out things (tung ra mọi thứ). 

Beethoven died in 1827 at the age of 56, deaf as a post, never having heard his masterpiece (kiệt tác) other than in his imagination. I doubt that the Brexit MEPs have any idea how ignorant they appeared. 

Granddaddy did what he wanted when he wanted. He was the picture of health but deaf as a post and refused to wear a hearing aid (trợ thính). The last 20 years he stayed in his room and he wrote. Gram took his meals into him.
