 * Sorry, I wasn't very clear. What I mean is that I don't think it's really entered the English lexicon, and consequently I don't think it deserves an entry. What do you think? Canonicalization (talk) 15:08, 10 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, I would understand the meaning, in the same way as or ; and it presumably isn't how Egyptians actually walked; so there seems to be something useful here. Look what I just found:


 * 1997, David Heller, Just Build the Ark and the Animals Will Come (page 70)
 * "He walked like an Egyptian. . . . Like with his hands out and flat." Toni, age 11

 * I'm also not convinced that e.g. "walk Egyptian-style" would have the same implications of the ancient hieroglyphic pose. Equinox ◑ 13:41, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
