Wire

Once considered informal when

used to mean “a telegram” or “to telegraph,”

Wire is now standard usage in these senses.

These are hackneyed expression involving wire:

“under the wire” (“within limits,” “by a deadline”),

“pull wire” (“to use connections or association to advantage”)

“on the wire” (“on the telephone”), and

“lay wire

for” (“to make preparations”).

I like to add to “ออกเสียง wire = ‘WAHYUHR’” (ไว เอ่อ หรือ วาย เอ่อ). Thais usually do not give enough attention to “ending of word”, so ‘fire’(ไฟ เอ่อ) sounds the same as ‘file’(ไฟ เล่อ); ‘mine’ (มาย เน่อ) the same as ‘my’ (มาย) or ‘mind’(มาย เนอ ดือ) ;-)
