    mosey

    an unhurried (urban) walk, and “mosey over to…” to walk over and investigate something, to go and have a look, to have a gander – a mosey and a shufty

    alt: One of my personal favourites is ‘mosey’, which betrays my childhood watching old western movies on television. Folks would mosey on down to the saloon, or whatever. Origin unknown. I use ‘mosey’ with my dog, to suggest a shared outing whose goal is exploratory pleasure (both of us), rather than a quick pee (him). It’s a word we share and that he recognizes means some joint fun: with all my own work about walking and various associated discussions, I wanted a term that would be special for him — and not have him perking to attention at every mention of “w-a-l-k”!
