To walk in a very gingerly and deliberate fashion because of swollen and painful feet or just plain old "bad" feet. Not to be confused with shuffling, this term originated down south in the 1920s-30s-40s. Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor often used this colorful rare word. Origin unknown.
adj Used to describe anyone who has a stable living situation, who is dependent upon their house or apartment. Often used to describe people who have "normal lives" but still hang out with gutterpunks, train-hoppers, and street-rats in their spare time. Slightly affectionate to extremely derogatory, depending on context.
