Subject: RE: BS - what's the difference between.....
Ah, hah! Good stuff! We are getting answers. And some of them even make sense.

Spaw - I don't know which is which...I'm confused. Of course I seldom actually get a look at my own ass, so maybe that's why. I will have to get a small mirror and check this out. Stay tuned.

Troll - flotsam and jetsam is a beauty! Wish I'd thought of it.

Bill D -

amble: to walk in a relaxed manner, as if with no particular objective in mind.

saunter: similar to amble, but with more style, and possibly with a specific objective in this case, but not necessarily.

sashay: a form of sauntering done by attractive females, specially in the Old South.

traipse: same as sashay, but less confined to the Old South. Gals have been traipsing ever since the dawn of time.

sidle: an approach utilizing a certain degree of stealth, usually with a specific objective in mind, often one which is to the disadvantage of the "sidlee" (the one being sidled up to).

walk - boring, boring, boring...

perambulate - a very long way to say "walk". Conveys a certain sense of gravity, breeding and distinction. Usually happens in England or various parts of the Empire, as it used to be called, when the world was half coloured in pink on every map.

stride - a very firm, purposeful walk.

shamble - an incoherent, apelike gait, denoting extremely primitive characteristics or possibly drunkeness.

shuffle - not lifting the feet enough when walking.

Okay?
