意味
To make someone suspicious or curious.
文化的背景
Hungarians are often stereotyped as being pessimistic or skeptical. This idiom is used frequently because it perfectly describes that 'skeptical' feeling when someone tells you something that sounds too good to be true. The 'ear-bug' or 'ear-flea' is a shared cultural metaphor across Germany, Austria, and Hungary, likely due to the shared history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In modern Hungarian internet slang, this phrase is sometimes used when talking about 'clickbait' headlines that plant a bug in your ear just to get a click. In villages, 'planting a bug' is often associated with the 'kerítésen túli beszélgetés' (talking over the fence), where most village gossip happens.
Use it for Curiosity too!
Don't just use it for bad things. If you want to suggest a cool new hobby to a friend, you can say you're planting a bug in their ear.

It's a bit too casual for a formal interview, but fine for a chat with colleagues.
