Taste your legs, sir; put them to motion.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker urges someone to test their legs and put them into motion, treating movement as something to be sampled and enjoyed. The playful phrasing, with legs 'tasted' like food, turns a plain call to get moving into a courteous, slightly teasing dare.
