describes the act of opening one's flip mobile
phone by snapping it open with a flick of the wrist, Star Trek-communicator-style. Eventually leads to
phone breakage, sometimes with the top half of the
phone flying across the room as it snaps from the base.
"
Dude! I Captain Kirked my phone last night and it
broke in half!"
"Heather, if you
don't stop Captain Kirking your phone so much, you are going to have to stop buying flip phones!"
