"Why do you walking around?"

Have you ever heard of the sentence and is the sentence grammatically correct? No. It's not a valid tense. Do you mean eg Why are you walking around?

And it should mean that "why don't you go to first base?" in a baseball game. It doesn't have that direct meaning.
Is eg a father talking to a small child?

...is the sentence grammatically correct?

In formal writing, grammatically, it would be incorrect.

Maybe it was suppose to be "why are you walking around?" or "why do you walk around?"

AnonymousHave you ever heard of the sentence

No, I haven't heard it personally in formal or informal situation. And if I did, I would be confused as to walk the person was talking about. It does not sound natural to me.

AnonymousAnd it should mean that "why don't you go to first base?" in a baseball game.

I don't know very much about baseball jargon (or baseball in general); however, I did not infer that meaning from the sentence.

Thank you both and what do you mean, It doesn't have that direct meaning? Come to think of it, the sentence, why don't you go to first base is somewhat weird, right? And I think there aren't that many contexts to use it, are there?

Why do you walk around? You can leave off the 'ing' and it is a formal question. He or she was walking around the block is an example of using the 'ing.'

what do you mean, It doesn't have that direct meaning?

If someone says Why are you walking around?, it doesn't immediately make you think of baseball.
