Kiting

1) The act of flying a kite.
2) The fraudulent use of a cheque, etc. in order to receive payment for it twice.
3) A micro technique in certain games such as MMORPG's and RTS's whereby a player continually moves their units around to make it harder for the enemy to attack them, sometimes to the extent where they are unable to attack at all.
4) A pose notably done by the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority in which people raise one arm and lower another while linking the top and bottom arms together to make multiple diamond shapes.

1) Are we going to go kiting? I hope I'm not gonna be like Charlie Brown.
2) He has done cheque kiting before.
3) Kiting in Starcraft 2 gives the advantage of giving longer ranged units time to reload.
4) Oh, my friend posted another of those kiting photos with her Theta sisters on Instagram.

Kiting

Particularly used in the 1980's/1990's in the UK (maybe decade before and/or after) - Using stolen/fraudulently acquired credit cards, cheque books and debit cards, etc, in order to obtain cash money from the 'victims' bank and/or using the cards to use fraudulently in shops in order to obtain (most often) high value items by 'false representation' (legal term) to (often) sell onwards for a lower price (usually half original price or less depending on circumstances) to a person/persons who may then potentially be involved in "receiving stolen goods" (legal term) if they're aware that the goods were obtained illegally.

Just bought some (stolen) credit cards on the cheap, shall we call "BLANK" & see if they'll come kiting with us to make a raise (slang for making illicit cash)...

Check Kiting

Referencing a personal bank account, the account holder will write a check knowing there is no money in the account in the hopes that by the time the check reaches the bank there will be money in the account. This system can also apply to cashing a check from an account and then depositing some of the cash in the same account in order to cover a previously written hot check. And repeating this process several times until the account holders gets paid.
POKER TABLE - Kiting someones checks means borrowing or taking chips from another player in order to play.

Jesus, I've been check kiting for three days. I need to hurry up and get paid.

After Tommy busted out of the game he kited like 2 dimes in checks from me to keep playing. He won it all back and then some!

Snow Kiting

A sport which involves flying up a mountain strapped to a giant fucking parachute and allowing the laws of physics to have sex with your face.

Guy 1: You want to go snow kiting?
Guy 2: Na man i'd rather shave with a grater.

chick kiting

Moving around a bar or a party, paying attention to a woman then making an excuse to work oneself away, with the promise of returning, only to move on to doing the same with another woman, and another as many times as time allows.

Look a Thomas work that room: He must be kiting as many as eight chicks at a time. Ha, you must have heard him call that chick kiting! What do you expect from a banker dealing with checks all day?
