Kickflip 

A kickflip is a skateboarding trick. When a kickflip is performed, the skateboard rotates 360 degrees on the boards axis. Kickflips are one of the most frustrating tricks to learn, as a skateboarder often learns the trick after all the beginner stuff ( eg. ollie and pop shove it ). I would say kickflips are one of the most common tricks in skateboarding, as everyone who doesn't skate is wanting to see an example. Kickflips were invented by Rodney Mullen, but he called them "Magic Flips". Kickflips can be combined with other tricks to make more advanced tricks, look below for examples.

Kickflip + Pop Shove It = Varial Kickflip
Kickflip + 360 Pop Shove It = Tre Flip ( 360 Flip )
Kickflip + FS Shove It = Hardflip
Kickflip + 360 FS Shove It = 360 Hardflip
Kickflip + Body Variation + FS Pop Shove It = FS Flip.

Bunny Kicker

An individual who sees fit to harm those of weaker physical or mental stature. Moreover, being that bunnies are among the smallest, harmless, most defenseless creatures, Bunny Kicking is the act of hurting someone or something that could never hurt you, would never want to hurt you and is vulnerable to your abuse.

**Strong reference to the evaluative psychological question of torturing small animals.
**Implication that the above-described mean person has issues.
**Can also be used light-heartedly for the occasional mean outburst that all humans suffer from.
There was absolutely no reason for him to yell at her in front of her friends. His career is suffering, so he is taking it out on her. He's such a Bunny Kicker!
