A synonym for "walk it back". Giving the appearance of moving forward even though you're actually retreating from a previous statement that has come under criticism.

This is a situational definition. When a dog drags its ass across the carpet in order to stop it from itching it is known as moonwalking.
Peter: "Brian when have I ever asked you to do anything for this family except for that thing you do when you scoot your ass across the carpet. You know the moonwalk?"

Amazing people who celebrate the life of Michael Jackson everyday of their lives. They can spend hours listening to his music and watching short films (videos) of him and never get tired or bored of it. Only people to help him spread his message of love, happiness, peace, and change all around the world even after his death. Moonwalkers are know every word to all of Michael's songs and doesn't not like any of them. They speak Jacksonese frequently; ). A Moonwalker's heart is full of love. They do not believe tabloids and they know that everything bad written about Michael is not true. Moonwalkers know every little thing about MJ. They would fight their hardest to defend Michael from anything. Moonwalkers are the people who, through everything, remember that it's all for love, L.O.V.E.

A dance move first performed by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson in Motown 25 while performing Billie Jean. It creates an illusion of moving forward while actually you are sliding back. Now everyone wants to learn it and be like MJ :)

To anxiously backtrack, alter or offer excuses to a previous statement, argument, or action that has suddenly been proven to be flawed or otherwise false, without ever truly admitting why it was as such. Usually the hallmark of someone who cannot stand/afford to be proven wrong.
"When Joe finished telling Jane where he was last night, she revealed the proof to the contrary. Dumbstruck with the confrontation, Joe nervously attempted to moonwalk his way out of the situation."
