shuffle

In terms of negotiating ice underfoot, here in Quebec the Anglos don’t have the same lovely language as the Newfounders. We certainly shuffle. Another s word! We take small sliding steps, weight forward, no heel planting but full foot down. We think of it as a penguin walk (somthing you can visualize) — and are often attired in puffy warm dark clothing reminiscent of said sweet creatures.
