DOWN TO THE WIRE | Essential English Expressions

Today's Expression and Script:
DOWN TO THE WIRE

"Have you ever heard someone say they were down to the wire? This phrase means that someone is running out of time to finish something. It comes from the world of sports, where races are often won or lost at the last minute, when runners are close to the finish line.

For example, imagine you have a big project due tomorrow, but you still have a lot of work to do. You might say, ""I'm down to the wire on this project!"" This means you are running out of time to finish it.

People also use this phrase when talking about sports games. If a team is losing by one point with only a few seconds left in the game, they are down to the wire. This means they have very little time left to try and win.

So next time you hear someone say they are down to the wire, you'll know exactly what they mean!"
