lunting - n., the act of walking while smoking a pipe.


Lunt actually has several meanings -- originally, taken from Dutch, a fuse or slow match, and then by extension to kindle/light, to emit smoke or steam, and to smoke a pipe. From that last, via some particular Scotsmen, we get the above sense, which may not be quite as obsolete as I originally thought, at least in the UK. Still, a word's a word, regardless of theme.
