Play it by year

[Little_Girl]

A common misphrasing of [play it by ear]
Meaning:
-to figure it out as the situation presents itself
-to improvise with plans as needed

[Sarah]

wait and see what happens

[Jessica]

-to wait and see how things go as time passes

[Little_Girl]

Same meaning as play it by ear; to deal with something as it develops rather than planning on how to act. Use it in speech and no one will know you are saying year rather than by ear. Watch as chaos ensues.
