So discuss it.

I'm all ears.

Using "this" in a sentence:


"You see this? Soon I'll be all ears."

Hahaha...you tricked me into believing we were going to discuss a topic.

Technically though, "this" is a topic

Quote
Word Origin and History for this

Old English þis, neuter demonstrative pronoun and adjective (masc. þes, fem. þeos), probably from a North Sea Germanic pronoun formed by combining the base *þa- (see that) with -s, which is probably identical with Old English se "the" (representing here "a specific thing"), but it may be Old English seo, imperative of see (v.) "to behold." Cf. Old Saxon these, Old Norse þessi, Dutch deze, Old Frisian this, Old High German deser, German dieser.
