Clock Candelabra
Posted December 16, 2009

What do 'waxy-eared' and 'slack-jawed' mean, from the movie Beauty and the Beast?
Cogsworth (the steward turned into a clock) tells off Lumiere (a servant turned into candelabra) and calls him devil-may-care (Irresponsible), waxy-eared (?), slack-jawed (?) because he conforted Maurice, Belle's father, in the castle, causing the anger of the Beast (minute 20 of the DVD).
Can you explain those two words or quote synonyms for those two words?
Thanks
Waxy-eared refers to unable/unwilling to listen, because his ears are full of wax, (he is a candle).
Slack-jawed is mocking the way he talks (his accent), insinuating that he is stupid.
