Twitch

People walk, and they have a slight swing in their cheeks. If you ever watch the summer Olympics, the hurdle races for example, in slow motion, you'll be able to see the twitch without even trying. It's not something you'll notice in everyday life, at least not until you notice it, and after you've noticed it, there is no un-noticing it. There is a twitch, for sure, a jerking, twitching movement of the cheek that is impossible to ignore for anyone who's ever had the misfortune of noticing it. Even small children, who ought to have really firm skin have it - the twitch.

The only exception is really heavy people. They have no twitch, because their pace is usually too slow to produce enough bounce to make their cheeks twitch. I'm sure, however, that they have other, different and possibly more difficult, types of problems of their own to deal with.
