Footwear hanging from an overhead wire by the laces. The laces of the shoes are tied together, then lobbed up to the wire(s) so that the shoes hang and dangle. Supposedly signals a location where drugs can be purchased; also symbolizes pointlessness i.e. there is no good reason for the object (shoes) being there. Can be found near schools, and in poor areas and tourist locations.
"Once in awhile I'll spot shoes on a wire and it sparks my curiosity and I'll chuckle."
"Let's play the shoes on a wire game. First one to get the shoes to hang wins."

"Drive-By-Wire," or Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) is a system which severs the direct connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle control in the engine.
Up until recently, most automobiles had a cable attached to the accelerator leading to the throttle which controlled how much of the gas/air mixture went into the cylinders. Nowadays, however, a lot of cars come with Drive-by-wire systems that send a signal to an electric motor that opens and closes the throttle. You can find this technology in such new cars as the Honda Fit and the BMW Mini Cooper.
This makes a lot of options such as Cruise-control and anti-lock braking easier for the manufacturer to install.
Drive-by-wire doesn't necessarily have to associate itself with just the throttle, however. In the near future, we'll be seeing cars with drive-by-wire steering, brakes, and many other systems that would normally be controlled by the driver.
One of the most prominent examples today is the Toyota Prius. It requires drive-by-wire systems for its Hybrid-Synergy Drive because of the complications of succesfully integrating electric motors and a gasoline engine to provide a smooth ride while returning high fuel mileage.
Some say that this technology is dangerous and destroys the connection between the driver and the auto. This is not entirely true, as many fail-safe devices have been installed to prevent tragedy from a simple breakdown.
The Honda Fit comes standard with a drive-by-wire system on the throttle.

Woman who propositions or otherwise flirts with men at check cashing and payday advance stations. They can also be found in liquor stores and truck stops that have western union.
That wire rider was all up in my biz cuz I was the only dude there picking up a wire and not getting a paycheck advance.
The small area under, next to, or behind an electronic device in which the wires required for said device are mixed together in this incongruous mass.
"hey, do you know where I can plug this in?"
"Check the wire space"
"... Actually, nevermind"
