roam around (for girls) Explanation: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Wrangle 1. wrangle to wrangle; a verb used to describe two guys roaming around on a college campus looking for chicks to bring to a party. Typically the wrangling is done by a couple guys in a fraternity. The word was brought about by refering to a group of girls as a 'herd' of girls. The word wrangle was first used by the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau, Kappa Nu Kappa Chapter of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Mort in the same dictionary . mort 15 up, 10 down A friend who 1) tells you there are hot chicks at a party (and he actually thinks they are hot) but in fact they are fuglies or 2) a friend who proclaims there will be tons of girls at his party and there are not many at all.

peer agreement (net): +2play around with/try out / fiddle around with Explanation: Originally a "wrangler" was a cowboy in charge of saddle horses( according to Webster's Dict.). They had ato keep them under control - not easy. So my reading in this context is that the person is advised to try play around with different gimmicks (options) to solve a problem. |
