Broadway (5) Another theater expression that is used in everyday speech is to 'wing it.' You wing it when you are not prepared for what you must do. An actor wings it when he goes on stage without knowing the lines he must speak. He people standing unseen at the sides of the stage to tell him quietly what he should say. In the theater, the sides of the stage that are hidden from the audience are called the wings. Thus, the actor needs help from people in the wings when he is 'winging it.' Now, anyone who tries to do something he is not prepared for is said to be 'winging it.'    ´Ù¶ô¿ø ÊÊ 'Voice of America'¿¡¼­ ¹ßÃéÇÑ ³»¿ëÀÔ´Ï´Ù.
