Kicking Around 

Refers to an object that has become obsolete or is hardly used or hasn't been used in a long time. What is "kicking around" is usually an annoyance or something that is often tripped over thus it is "kicked around". Sometimes it may refer to a long lost or unused object that now can be used again. Something that only serves to be getting in the way for the time being.
Husband: Check out this extremely long list of "shit" I really don't need, but want to collect anyway.
Wife: Don't buy that game and "shit", it will only be "kicking around" the house.

Kickin' Around Buzz 

A somewhat light buzz, usually from alcohol, that one would keep for an extended period of time while just kickin' around ones home or during recreational activity. The term does not refer to getting totally wasted, but may very well lead to it.
Let me get home and get a kickin' around buzz going, then I'll give you a call.

Q: Whats that 12 pack for?
A: Just my kickin' around buzz today.
