kicking up

Mafia term for "paying tribute" to the Mafia Don or Chosen One. These are mandatory voluntary payments to assure the underling or minion knows their duty is to tithe and pay homage in the form of riches to the Chosen One. A model easily adapted to business and politics. Kicking up is much more lucrative than a kickback since it clearly instructs not only one's minions but everyone what the rules for doing business are.

Pence and Barr realized even the role of enforcers were not enough, to curry favor with their political boss since this would add little to his wealth. They would have to start kicking up to advertise the fact that they also had to humiliate themselves by going out of their way to frequent his businesses.

Kicking it with Keke

The act of hanging out with a "friend" when you've talked badly about them frequently to other people. Usually the friend "kicking it with Keke" posts pictures, snapchats, and tweets talking about how they are so close but publicly complains about their friend, "Keke", wherever they cannot see.

Lily: Hey do you want to hang out with me and Molly? (Keke) I don't want to hang out with her alone.
Ariel: Oh, I see you're still kicking it with Keke; posting her on your instagram and snapchat.
