clompromise
Describes the act of walking --- often with weariness or a wobbly/ungainly gait --- somewhere instead of driving or otherwise availing yourself of "mechanical" travel-means.
Two of the most common instances when one might make a clompromise are:
(1) Where someone wants a ride somewhere, but you feel that said individual either needs to become more accustomed to "not always living the soft life" or could stand to "lose a few", but you also realize that his having to whiningly/wheezingly traipse all the way to his destination alone might be overly upsetting/discouraging to him, and so you offer to stroll along wif him to where he's going, to keep him company. It's not unlike teenage friends' offering to scuttle around the yard wif one of their classmates who's having to rake leaves or cut grass, or several ladies' exercising together for emotional support and to keep each others' spirits up.
(2) Where you either feel that an errand is not important/urgent enough (or involves transporting objects with enough weight that you could not simply carry them with reasonable ease) to use costly gas for, or you cannot be at all sure if whatever you're going for is even going to "pan out", and so you're making a pre-road-trip walk to personally check out the actual conditions/circumstances at your intended destination before you commit to moving 2 tons of steel and glass all the way over there.
