A Scottish dialect verb meaning to walk with a clumsy, rocking side-to-side motion — the kind of ungainly shuffle associated with toddlers, people loaded down with heavy bags, or someone whose shoes are two sizes too small. Hoddle paints a vivid picture with very few letters: you can almost see the figure waddling along, arms out for balance. Though largely confined to Scottish vernacular, it has an immediate charm that makes its meaning obvious even to outsiders.
