Basically, it's the walk where I pull my shoulders up, set my face in a scowl, and move. I'll show you sometime! It's not totally the same as predator-walk (which is a little slinkier and involves letting Hyde come play a bit) but they're related. I'm not sure if there's a difference between murder strut and "walk like a new yorker" --I can walk *very* fast and thread through crowds *very* well if I need to.
Letting myself be annoyed with slower people is a good way to master murder strut. Also, I go ahead and put myself into "fuck you white man, *you* move" mode, which given that I am pretty much always on the appropriate side of the sidewalk, it's fascinating how many white dudes wind up shoulder checking me anyways (because naturally it's the girl's job to step out of the way).
I love murder strut very much. Anger is a lot of how I can exist within the boundaries enforced on me by my genetics and this society.
