Hawaiian Pidgin word for anything at anytime. It's generally used when you don't know the term of something or you're too lazy to say its name.
It's kind of like "whatchamacallit" or "thingy majigger".

"small kine" is pidgeon English. It's Hawaiian slang for saying "a little bit" or "to a small degree".
If someone can't hear you well over the phone, but can pick up what you're saying, they'd say, "I can hear you small kine." (i.e., I can hear you a little bit.)
