Wiggle Room

Welcome to English in a Minute!

Wiggle room sounds like a place you would go to wiggle.

WIGGLE ROOM

Hey, if you’re going camping this weekend, let Mark know by tomorrow.

He needs to know how many cabins to rent.

I’m still not sure if I’m going.

I like camping.

But I have a bunch of stuff to do around the house this weekend.

Well, for now, why don’t you tell him you’re going?

That way, you have some wiggle room.

You can always change your mind later.

Good idea.

To wiggle is to make little movements from side to side.

If you are stuck in a tight place, you can wiggle yourself out.

To have wiggle room, means you are able to make small changes to a plan or schedule.

Wiggle room gives you freedom to change your mind.

And that’s English in a Minute!
