This has been driving me crazy.  What do you think this means:"Business has been wide open."

    TWSS?Does it mean open to the market? or just that business is booming?  It's a head scratcher for me...

    My guess would be it's anyone's market? As in, doing well? Was there other context to it?

    My boss says it all the time in talking to customers...like, how is business?  And then when they ask him he says "we're wide open." or "Our business is wide open."He means that we are busy.  Really, really busy.  But it makes me think not busy for some reason.  And it is just a term that I've only heard recently.  And TWSS is so appropriate here, haha.

    could someone clue me in on what TWSS means?   lol- this reminds me of the lady that asked for the handicap seat onthe bus today, she looked at the kid sitting there and said "can I have that seat- I really need to spread my legs"

    Oh my, I think your boss might be giving the wrong impression. "How's business?""Wide open"That to me implies we have nothing on our schedule, we don't have work, etc. But that's just me.

    Wow, I've never heard that expression, and wouldn't necessarily have guessed that that's what he meant by it!

    I've never heard the term used like that... I have said "My calendar is wide open" As in I have plenty of time for you.  Whic would lead me to belive that "business being wide open" would mean there is little business meaning plenty of time and space for more.... hmm that would be annoying.. The lady on the bus would be HILARIOUS!
