walkie talkie
Handheld radio pair
A walkie talkie is a portable two-way radio that lets users communicate over short distances.
You press a button to talk and release it to listen.
The name mimics the device's function—you can walk and talk.
Walkie talkies are standard equipment for security guards, construction crews, and children playing spy.
Also spelled walkie-talkie.
