A measurement of Wind

A kite for aircraft flying cannot be just wing mechnanically. Rather, for kiting action to occur and to have a kite in such action, the aircraft machine "kite" must be a collection of three parts: wing, tether, and resistive subassembly (mooring). The mooring is often moving and can even be falling through the air. Essentially the line or tether couples the other two parts of the kite so a net positive tension occurs in the connecting line or tether. A default "kite" is often applied to the wing, but just the wing only gives non-kite glider. K={w,t,r). Thus paragliders are gliding kites. When underwater, kite is named "paravane"
A paraglider is a kite that has its mooring or resistive part as a falling mass tethered to a wing set (one or more wings).
A toy kite consists of a wing, a kite line, and a resistive part that might be the hand-body of a child; the hand may move in many ways by waving, pulling, or on top of a running child.
A hang glider with a single tether holding a pilot is a free-flight kite; the pilot's mass is the resistive part pulled by gravity; the tension couples the lifting/dragging wing. The three parts form a kite hang glider. Such a hang glider is also a type of paraglider.

The pillar of human decency and the shining example of what humanity should be. The most humble of beings that requires our love and adoration!
Praise the Kite may we bask in his light!

In an MMORPG, when you pull a monster across one or several maps. This is generally done with intention to drag a high level monster into a low level area, or simply to allow time for teammates to kill lower level guards while the more powerful, kited one is being pulled away.

Short Def : Excuse. Being lied to. Being strung along. Similar to how a mob / enemy gets done in video gaming especially by a ranged attacker
Long Def : When you are told one thing, plan or promise and when the time for that is due you have the process repeated, usually in an exponential and sometimes patronizing, manner. Very common with drug dealers, users ( both mentally abusive towards others, and chemical users such as addicts ). Particularly insulting when you've recently dealt with the same person and kept your word to them.

Charles : "Man, Johnny said he would pay me back a month ago but he keeps giving me excuses every time!"
Joe : "Yeah bro, you're gettin' kited on that if you ask me!"
