It just occurred to me that in the 1994 film The Lion King, when Zazu sings “This child is getting wildly out of wing,” that’s a joke about the expression “out of hand” because he is a bird. I think my kid brain just assumed “out of wing” was something grownups said sometimes and I didn’t question it for 32 years.
