American English often seems like a foreign language to an English man of a certain age such as your truly.
I recall, for example, struggling to get to grips with this dialogue exchange from the Rom-Com ‘Singles’ (Cameron Crowe, 1992):
STEVE – Do you realize, Janet, that in modern society there is almost no need to leave the house?
JANET -At all. Steve, you’re wigging.
STEVE – I’m not wigging. What, you think I’m wigging?
JANET This is hang time. I’m just… I’m just regrouping.
What is wigging?
Here’s a definition I found online:
“Wigging or The Wig is simply the state of an individual who is uncertain on ‘what’ is happening to them during the transition of apparent reality to the realm or identity of another reality. In short, it is You, the spirit getting back in communication with the Higher Self, all along protesting the Connection because You are trying to ‘hold on’ to your human valence. Just relax, breathe deep and focus on positive thoughts; love, peace, harmony, joy and serenity. When You connect the wigging will stop”. (Source : Urban Dictionary)
I’m still not sure I fully understand!
