 Now this is a good 'un! So I'm writing ROBERTOREG'S NOTES on Chapter 6 of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD and on page 63, I find Hearn Bannon saying, "Look at that bank walker's strut Buck's got." So I ask myself, "What's a 'bank walker's strut'?" I found out that the term "bank walker" comes from the habit of  certain young men back in the "buck nekkid at the swimmin' hole" days to confidently walk the bank after hanging their trousers and underwear on a nearby tree limb instead of discretely entering the water out of modesty. This practice comes down to us in the present-day in the guys who like to walk around the locker room without a towel. (from April 15, 2007 Raleigh News & Observer)
