Actor Quip of the Day: "I nailed it in the wings."
"I nailed it in the wings"--when an actor, particularly an actor just learning a role, blows a line, he or she may say, "I nailed it in the wings," meaning he or she got the line right before they went on, then blew it onstage.
(The photo above is very old.) I presently carry out author interviews for the website LitHub.com, but before that I worked as a book columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger from January 2002 to June 2012. I have written for the New York Observer, the New York Post, the Denver Post and other newspapers.
