Μου μπήκαν ψύλλοι στ' αυτιά
Literally "fleas entered my ears," it conveys the idea of an irritating thought or suspicion being planted in one's mind. Like a flea, the suspicion is a small, nagging annoyance that you can't easily ignore. Often, someone else "puts the fleas in your ears."
Examples in context
Απ' όταν το είπε, μου μπήκαν ψύλλοι στ' αυτιά.
Ever since he said it, I've become suspicious.
Μην ακούς τι λένε, θα σου μπουν ψύλλοι στ' αυτιά.
