Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co host, Sochil.
And today we are going to explain or describe an expression that is very common in English and Sochil.
What is today's expression?
Today's expression, Jack, is winging it, which to me means throwing something together or coming up with it as you go.
Like we often wing the podcast, meaning that when Jack and I get on a call, we come up with themes as we go and new themes, or we define things as we go, rather than making it too pre planned.
So I'd say the opposite of winging something is to do something with a lot of organization and structure.
Yeah, and I wouldn't say winging it is necessarily a negative thing, would you, Jack?
No, no.
I mean, sometimes it can be.
It can be negative.
If you, if you have to give a presentation in school or something like that, you, you want to definitely prepare beforehand.
You don't want it to be spontaneous or improvised.
But if you're doing certain things, like, for example, like podcasting, I prefer a more spontaneous, kind of unprepared approach because I think it's more interesting.
You don't know what's going to happen next, and there are a lot of surprises and it's more fun that way.
So I prefer winging it when I do that sort of thing.
Right.
