How do you translate the English idiom "coming out of my ears?" It means that you have a lot of something.
Example: I've eaten so many carrots this week that they're practically coming out of my ears!"
"Stop giving me more shoes! I have shoes coming out of my ears!"
etc...

In Scarface 2, Tony says "I have octopus coming out of my ears". En español, "Tengo pulpas que salen por las orejas". That's what the Spanish subtitle says, minus the profanities.

Oops! It should be reflexive... "Tengo pulpas que se salen por las orejas". The subtitles didn't have it reflexive, but it should be. - Esteban3304, Apr 2, 2012

O... "Me salen los pulpos/el pulpo por las orejas" ;) - Cordobesa, Apr 2, 2012
