Mary was so angry with Peter because he didn’t walk his talk.
I hope, you guess the meaning of “walk his talk".
Tamil cine actor Mr. Rajinikanth used to tell in his earlier movies – “I always say what I will do and I will do what I say"
In English, there are two common expressions: “walk the talk” and “talk the walk"
Usage:
1. He walked his talk. (=He did as he said / He kept his word).
2. Don’t worry I will walk my talk.
The phrase “talk the walk" means “speak what you will do"
Usage:
1. Please talk the walk. (=please, say what you can really do)
2. A leader should talk his walk and walk his talk.
(Politicians always walk their talk, don’t they? )
