Question

ESLPod_0626_WE_0926 Wiring Money to Another Country The verb "to wire," in this podcast, means to send something electronically, usually when talking about money or telegraph messages, and usually over a large distance: "Whenever you wire money into our bank account, the bank charges us $35." A "wire" is normally a thin piece of metal, often used to conduct electricity: "They hung their wet clothes on a wire in the backyard to dry." The phrase "down to the wire" means with very little time left to finish something: "We're really down to the wire with this report. It has to be finished by the end of the day!" Finally, the phrase "to get (one's) wires crossed" means for there to be confusion in communication because two people are talking about two different things: "We must have gotten our wires crossed, because I thought you were talking about this Thursday - not next Thursday."
