auricle

the devils dictionary
n. The outlying provinces of the ear, as distinguished from the interior counties.

Dogmatic Dan, with more of ears than brain,
Was laying down the law to Mary Jane.
"You're famous for your oracles," she said.
A sudden anger dyed his cheeks with red;
He seized his hat. "My auricles!" said he—
"Madam, good-bye; you've seen the last of me!"
