(US, Nebraska, historical) A claimant of land under the provisions of the Kinkaid Act.
"Kinkaider" is an old or dialect word meaning a claimant of land under the provisions of the kinkaid act. If your teen uses it, they have most likely picked it up from a book, video game, period drama, or a regional grandparent rather than a modern peer group. There is no cause for concern here; the word is largely out of contemporary teen usage. If it appears in a school text, it is being studied for vocabulary or historical context. You can treat it like any other archaic vocabulary item.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

"Kinkaider" is obsolete or literary English meaning a claimant of land under the provisions of the kinkaid act. It is mainly used in North American English. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "a claimant of land under the provisions of the kinkaid act" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to use "Kinkaider" in modern conversation; it will sound strange or theatrical. Recognise it in older texts, but use the modern equivalent when speaking. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
