"Wangle your way into" nghĩa là gì?

"Wangle (one's) way into (some place or some situation)" có từ "wangle" là mưu mô, thủ đoạn, mánh khóe -> xoay xở để đạt được mục đích (bằng cách khéo léo, thông minh hoặc dùng mánh khóe).

Ví dụ

The restaurant is for members, but commoners (người thường) can wangle their way in; politely emailing current performers often works, as does accompanying a member.

Even though Dijakovic picked up the win here, I don’t see this being a cut and dried (kết quả rõ ràng, dễ thấy), mano-a-mano (đối đầu) fight for TakeOver Portland. Instead, I see Priest managing to wangle his way into the match, setting up a triple threat for Lee’s title that could very easily steal the show.

Back in the day, money used to be a rare commodity, obliging one to wangle your way inside the stadium – I would wait at the gate for Tigers’ squad members to arrive at the field on foot and would beg Buti Nandos to help him carry his makeshift (thay thế tạm thời) tog-bag, a torn plastic bag containing his worn out Adidas pair of togs (quần áo) just to gain free entry into the stadium.
