Talk:cross the wires

RFV discussion: April–May 2021
Sense: synonym of (= "to get confused or mixed up about another person's intentions; to misunderstand one another"). I can't find this particular phrase used this way: it would need to be something like "we crossed the wires and failed to understand one another". All I find is the other sense (a news story breaking) or literal crossing of electrical wires. Equinox ◑ 15:55, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I could only find one possible quote:
 * but I am inclined to wonder whether the person who added this didn't mean . Kiwima (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * That quotation doesn't seem to fit the definition of getting confused about someone's intentions or to misunderstand, though it does suggest some kind of confusion or conflation. Equinox ◑ 15:05, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
