Walky-Talky

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A playful, tongue-in-cheek term used by disabled folks to refer to able-bodied people who can walk—basically the opposite of how mainstream society talks about disability. It's reclaiming the jargon game with a healthy dose of humor and disability community solidarity.

Example Usage

My friend in her wheelchair pointed at the marathon runner and whispered, 'Check out that walky-talky showing off.'
