Phrase wrinkle
Text The word "wrinkle," in this podcast, means a long, thin line or fold in fabric, especially in clothing that was folded poorly or was placed underneath something heavy for a long period of time: "Your clothes would have fewer wrinkles if you took them out of the dryer and hung them up right away." A "wrinkle" is also one of the thin lines on one's skin, especially as one gets older: "People who spend too much time in the sun will get a lot of wrinkles when they're older." The phrase "to iron out the wrinkles" means to solve small, unimportant problems to make something perfect or to make something work well: "The engineers need another few weeks to iron out the wrinkles in the software program, but then we should be able to begin selling it."
