Why is it

that, if you're hard of hearing (like me), so many exchanges go like this?

Person: "Barflarble jarba woof woof bamble jamble horba jork went tam jamba hoot kaboot yellow fever."

BB: "Pardon?"

Person: "YELLOW FEVER!. Sigh."

Leaving me still having no idea what in the name of Ronald McDonald you were talking about. I didn't just selectively only miss the last two words, yet time and time again, people just repeat those, then get frustrated and say "nevermind!" when I ask for clarification.
