Copping the wire

Prison slang for stealing another inmate’s items off their fishing line (the string they use to send exchange items between cells).

Sometimes when the line is sent to the gallery, another inmate snatches it for themselves.

I tried sending Bill some coffee on a line, but he never got it because someone has been copping the wire.

wired to the gravel

When a person gets frustrated and overloaded with trying understand all the different Social Media Platforms they become wired to the gravel.

I tried to tell my mom the difference between Facebook and Twitter and she just wired to the gravel.

The samoan phrase meaning, you are a friend i cherish. It is used in a platonic way to show love between friends.

“Kaukau lou polo i le wire!!”
“Wow! Thank you! I cherish our friendship too!”

Wire-jerker

Electrician with only basic skills
Poorly trained or dumb sparky

I called the sparky and he sent me this wire-jerker. He can pull cables but he's useless at fault finding.
