walker-talker

[Arnold Zwicky]

overheard yesterday: "I'm a walker-talker", with the explanation:
"someone who walks and talks on the phone".

didn't get any similar hits -- instead, mentions of a communication
device called the WalkerTalker, references to a child who is "a late
walker/talker", a "walker talker doll", and irrelevancies.

certainly the modern world is full of walker-talkers in the first
sense above.
