Hello,
Would you tell me the meaning of "A walking cane":
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Sting)
Thanks.
A walking cane

Re: A walking cane
A "walking stick" is a cane that a gentleman carries when strolling about.
New York gentlemen no longer do, but Englishmen in New York will carry a
cane, and sometimes an umbrella.

Well seriously, the term walking stick is used for those people that has problems balancing their body due to aging. It is usually used when you reach at old-age.
