How it's used

This idiom specifically describes the physical distance between two people walking together who appear disconnected or estranged. It captures a sense of awkwardness or deliberate avoidance in social interaction. While it can describe a literal gap, it often implies a lack of intimacy or a breakdown in communication between the pair.
