"A flea in your ear" = con bọ chét trong tai -> nghĩa là lời chỉ trích gay gắt.

Ví dụ
There’s no getting your mum to phone up and say you’re sick or not doing the work. You had to do it and that was it, otherwise you got a flea in your ear. It’s a bit more serious than a teacher telling you off (mắng mỏ).

Try coming here in a private (cá nhân) jet when the borders (biên giới) are closed and you'll get sent on your way with a flea in your ear.

You are right when you say you do not think he is entitled (có quyền làm) to a one-half interest in the property, as he contributed nothing, save for the $11,000 and not one cent more. So, please let the law protect you, by giving you your due (công bằng) and him a flea in his ear.
