(v.) = get along + in the world, shuffle along, tick over, muddle along, keep + the wolves from the door

Ex. The public library's sole reason for being is to help people get along in the world, to help school children get better grades, to help preachers write better sermons that will keep the congregation awake, to help newspapermen find facts.

Ex. So I say, we're just a bunch of poor, old, Midwestern pig farmers shuffling along trying to do what we can = Por eso digo que somos tan sólo un puñado de criadores de cerdos, viejos y pobres, de la región central de los Estados Unidos que vamos tirando como podemos.

Ex. It seems to me that the Dewey engine is still ticking over, though there's an occasional knocking and it could no doubt do with a good tuning.

Ex. For our small academic center, we're trying to do something for free, and muddling along at a snail's pace.

Ex. Some can afford this as they are semi-retired or have other sources of income to keep the wolves from the door.
