“For kicks and giggles, my annual #CincoDeMayo tradition: Quizzing gringos about what the holiday celebrates! If you're not American but not Mexican either, feel free to take a guess as well. No looking it up or else you're a nerd. 🤓”

Kick shit is American informal slang meaning to hang out, pass time casually, or loaf around — typically in a social context with friends, doing nothing in particular. The phrase is crude in register and most common in casual spoken American English. It implies relaxed, low-key socialising without a defined agenda. Occasionally it can carry a slightly restless energy, as if kicking around with nothing to do. It sits in the same register as 'chill', 'hang', or 'vibe', but with more of a blue-collar, street-level flavour.
