Acceptable azimuth/elevation of arm swing when walking

I would allow 30° maximum elevation and about 10° azimuth. Beyond this you should be killed. It is irritating to see someone marching with enormous arm swing elevation, but mainly they just look stupid. By far the worst is the azimuth abuse. Now, I'm not misogynistic, but ... old women with overfilled shopping bags which tip them to one side like to draw attention to this with enormous azimuth swing, making it very difficult to overtake them. Essentially one fat old woman with a big Sports Direct holdall can take up 3 or 4 people's space on a pavement. Of course if you do nonetheless try to overtake these people, they find occasion to lurch towards you, and then make a noise like 'Ooooooo', as if a car's just hit them in the solar plexus, even though you just brushed their arm.

Any arm movement is to be deplored. One should glide like an Irish dancer or not at all.

Is it accurate that you burn more calories if you keep your arms stationary whilst walking? May start putting them in my pockets.

My friend once gave me a fucking serious talking to for walking along with my arms folded. I like folding my arms. I'm a big fan of defensive body language and I find it comfortable. So why shouldn't I walk around like it? Apparently it made me look like a psychopath and he was so disturbed by it I haven't done it since. But give it a try; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. No arm swinging at all if they're neatly folded up in front of you. Tidy.

All through secondary school I was fascinated with the various different azimuths of all the teachers' other arm when they were wiping the blackboard.

It's all prometheus boards these days of course, so board wiping arm swing is a relic of the past.

You know how sometimes in a video game a character will get a limb stuck in a wall or something and just start flipping around all over the place making a mad noise? Well, that, but it's my penis.

What would be great would be a 6-axis cock - complete with a grabber at the tip. That would please the ladies.

Should we also add in the affected limp on one side that all the rappers do?  "Pimp limp" or summat?

It's the pimp roll, but Liam Neeson insists on calling it "the universal credit claim".

Useful for walking pocket-wanks too.

I go for big swings as I walk, it gets me in the walking mood and it improves walk quality. If I go fast I hold my hands in the karate chop position and go straight up and down, but if I am going for a more leisurely walk I will ball my fists and add a bit of sideways movement in. I am often complimented on my walking and I take pride in it. To be bad at walking is a shameful thing, awful, shuffling, repressed, c3po nonsense, if you haven't been freshly circumcised and you haven't been tasered, you have no right to walk that way. Imagine pushing over dozens of old women, hurling them into traffic, what a horrible man.
