       A new retronym just dropped:"Silent walking": walking without listening to anything on your phone.As a podcaster, I cannot support this trend.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-08/silent-walking-taking-off-on-tiktok-boosting-youth-mental-health/102938224

       @grammargirl I do this at the airport, I’ve thought about doing it in the real world but thought it would be obnoxious?

       @grammargirl I deleted my post because I misunderstood the concept. I wear headphones with the noise canceling on but nothing actually playing sometimes to help block out noise pollution.

       @grammargirl - My nickname in college was "Walkman" so this is not a trend for me.

       @grammargirl I recall someone saying "There's probably a new way to [defecate], but I don't want to know"Has walking been patented this week?

       @grammargirl I'd ditch the headphones in the countryside where the whole point is to savour the walk and listen to the birds. But if I'm in town, walking amid crowds and traffic, I'd much rather listen to your podcast.

       @grammargirl I used to listen to podcasts when I walked. Then I stopped because I realized it was part of my compulsion to be productive all the time. Now, when I walk, I really make an effort to focus on my surroundings and enjoy being there in the moment. Just saying. 😃

       @grammargirl I’m about to go do that now. But only because I forgot to grab my earbuds before leaving the house 🫤

       @grammargirlI saw mention of this a few weeks ago and it's been entertaining me since.In my day there were areas with *no* signal at all. We called 'em "dead zones" but tell the truth, they's where folk could breathe a long-lost breath.
