On an airplane, a "wing" is one of the long arm-like parts on the sides that help it fly: "When I flew to Denver, my seat was next to the wing, so I couldn't see the mountains." As a verb, "to wing it" means to do something without planning first, or to be spontaneous: "We didn't have time to reserve a hotel room, so we're just going to wing it and hope that we can find a place to stay once we're there." |
