The practice of rhythm and blues horn players (quintessentially tenor sax players) to literally get up on the bar during a tune and walk it from one end to to the other, riffing and honking. Typical in the 1940's and 50's, it was deemed a display of machismo and virtuosity.
A friend of mine reported seeing tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet walking the bar in St. Louis. He moved along. playing and kicking over drinks as he went. One patron, objecting to the endeavor, pulled a switchblade knife out and stuck it into the bar in Illinois' path. When Jacquet came to that spot, he peered over his horn at the knife, turned around, and continued to play as he retraced his path.

Get the walking fleek mug.Walking (also known as ambulation) is THEE most badboy gait of terrestrial locomotion among legged animals. If performed incorrectly can result in single or multiple catastrophic faceplants. Thomas Edison (the dick) coined the biomechanical hack when he was sick of bashing his head against tables doings barrel rolls and accidentally kicking dickxs willy-nilly (Pun Intended) since before then the only mode of transportation was to crawl, teddy roll or just plain roll (but if you did that kids said your dad shopped at netto.) If you attempted to achieve bipedal ambulation before 'The Great Bimble' which took place on Jimmy Saviles grave before he was born. You'd get poked by sticks by locals and sent back to whence came. Hair straighteners were often used to lengthen and straighten the legs. This resulted in properly, slic, sleek, LUSCIOUS, easy to maintain lugs. Because you're well worth it. In order to sit at the dinner table, people would often perform a vigorous roll towards said chair and flosbury flop. Its a type of pole vault.
