از این گوش در، از آن گوش دروازه
az in goosh dar, az aan goosh darvazeh
In one ear, out the other
뜻
Meaning that advice or information is quickly forgotten or ignored.
문화적 배경
This is perhaps the most common idiom used by Iranian parents. It reflects the high value placed on 'obedient children' (farzand-e harf-shenav). The concept of the 'un-teachable' person is a recurring theme in the poetry of Saadi and Rumi, though they often use more formal metaphors. In Iranian Twitter/Instagram, this idiom is often used to mock politicians who ignore public demands. In Tehran, the rhythm of the phrase is often emphasized to show extreme annoyance.
Use it with 'Angar'

Don't use with Bosses
Unless you are very close, telling a boss their words are 'in one ear and out the other' is a quick way to get fired.
