Ear candy

I got an email yesterday from a client who had to cancel a meeting. The client was very apologetic, explaining:

"Sorry for the last minute cancellation. We are just busy as heck this first quarter so I am going to have to push our meeting out to next quarter. [Name] from my team may reach out to you sooner as she is the team lead on stakeholder engagement but she is equally up to her ear balls with work this and next month"

I'm sorry, did you say "ear balls"?

I thought so.
