This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #1314367Les adolescents, qui copient les gros rappeurs étasuniens, se sont mis depuis quelques années à marcher comme des métronomes, en balançant de droite et de gauche, ce qui est la seule manière de progresser quand on fait plus de cent-vingt kilos, mais se révèle totalement inefficace lorsqu'on est un mince adolescent de la moitié de ce poids, puisque l'essentiel de l'énergie est perdue latéralement, sans parler du côté absolument ridicule de cette démarche pendulaire..

For the past few years, teenagers who imitate overweight american rappers have been walking like inverted pendulums, swinging from left to right, which is the only way forward if you are over two hundred and sixty pounds, but completely ineffective if you are a scrawny teenager weighing half of that, since most of the energy is wasted on side steps, not to mention the sheer absurdity  of that swinging gait.
