trot
Between walk, canter
Trot describes a gait faster than a walk but slower than a run—specifically the two-beat diagonal movement of a horse or the bouncing jog of a person: The horse broke into a trot.
To trot out something is to bring it forward for display, often something familiar or overused: He trotted out the same old excuses.
The trots is slang for diarrhea.
