Text In this podcast, the word "wing" means one part of a large building that goes in a different direction than the rest of the building: "The university's engineering department is building a new wing for chemical engineering." On a bird or insect, a "wing" is an arm-like body part that helps the animal fly: "A hummingbird moves its wings very quickly." 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."
