Hello all,
I shan't say another word to your Pa about it. I want him to go to town to sign some deeds this afternoon, and I can't afford to rile him. Besides, it wouldn't do a particle of good if I was to talk him deaf, and you know it.

Does "talk somebody deaf" mean, "sell one's idea by means of talking and talking until the listener buys it" ?
Thank you.
