"Wheeling Someone": Assisting a Wheelchair User
To "wheel someone" means to push or assist a person who uses a wheelchair in moving from one place to another.
It implies:
- Physical assistance with mobility.
- Respect for the person's autonomy (ask first, follow their direction).
- No metaphorical or slang meaning in standard English—it's literal caregiving/accompaniment language.
Example: "I wheeled my grandmother through the airport." = I pushed her wheelchair.
