Wicked Gaits

Young people here, (especially the ASBO generation, the ones with the hoodies, the gangstas, the chavs) walk in very peculiar way, maybe its a way they express themselves. It is suave the way in which they move their hands and feet, it is almost choreographed in that sense. Walking is one thing which should not be, though if models have to learn the sort of ramp walk why can't them, after all even an army marching is almost ballet-like in a regimental sort of way.

My cousin walks and talks like one of them, it is a ritual to him in the shallow sense of the term. He even asked me to walk like that once, He said, "If you walk like one of them(though he meant us) you will be safe and you will be deemed cool." Well of course, I didn't try it out and wouldn't manage even if I did. Luckily, it hasn't resulted in any scraps or fights, as my cousin had warned me. However, he still agrees my that my gait is not wicked enough in his part of London. My answer is a resounding 'yes, I know'. But I know one day it will come naturally,(though I hope not) just like an accent, which interestingly is still the same, the suffix of ya, ya's and bhanchod is very much there.
