To walk with a lofty proud gait, often in an attempt to impress others.
Men get uptight about some things. Butts, for instance. Ass. I was describing my new MBT shoes to a friend, explaining how they’re supposed to improve one’s posture as well as strengthen the lower back and butt. Everything was fine until I got to butt, at which point my friend started chuckling uncomfortably. "How’s your butt lookin’ these days?" I high-fived and said "My butt’s lookin’ good, girlfriend!" And there was much, much laughter — maybe a little too much — to extinguish or perhaps stoke these male anxieties about the butt. I was quoting the literature about MBT shoes and how they are supposed to do all those things to improve the posture but I guess I came off sounding less clinical then the literature I cited.
