Khe Sanh shuffle noun a method of walking honed by combat, always on the lookout for enemy fire US Referring to the US air base in Vietnam during the war.- When we got near the runway, we did what everyone called "the Khe Sanh shuffle." You looked the way you were going, and you never went more than fifty meters in one shot. It was a half-slouched combined with the opposite of being cross-eyed: One eye always looked where you were going and the other always looked at an alternate route, where you would go if the rounds came in. — Eric Hammel, Khe Sanh, p. 245, 1989
