Weave in and out Meaning in English
expression
Definition
To move smoothly and repeatedly from side to side, passing between things or people; often used for driving, walking, or moving through a crowd.
Usage & Nuances
Informal and vivid; commonly used for vehicles (cars, bikes), but also for people in crowds. Conveys agile, repeated side-to-side motion to avoid obstacles. Not the same as simply 'move through'—it emphasizes zigzagging.
