its is the universal method of communication between equal beings that will in turn interpret such a phrase as a complementary thank you for a task performed for another.
Or a term used to say thank you.
E.g.
me-Pass me that pen please
you-there you go (passes pen)
me-cheers ears! :D

Brit English for thank you, with a hint of cheeky yet affectionate mockery thrown in.

- Yeah go ahead
- Cheers big ears

Used in Australia as an acknowledgement of one's mates before having a large swig of an ice cold beer. Not any other drink, not any other temperature. Beer only. Ice cold.
As well as other responses such as "up your nose with a rubber hose" the one true response if a nod and a wink whilst saying "Fuck off Noddy!".
Bloke 1: My shout
Bloke 2: Schooner of New
Bloke 3: Pint of SuperDry
1: No worries, back in a sec

1: Here you go (whilst handing around beers)

An Australianism associated with drinking: When you're about to take a drink, you say "cheers big ears". There are two usual responses: "same goes big nose," or "up your nose with a rubber hose."
(At the pub after raising your glass)
You - "Cheers big ears"
Me - "same goes big nose"
(Followed by a wink and a big long quenching gulp of your drink)
