Kick Back

8/29/2014

3 Comments

 
Kick back is a phrasal verb meaning to relax or chill out. When you come home from work, sometimes you just want to lie down on the sofa and relax. You might also sit on your sofa, lean back, put your hands behind your head and stretch out. You're usually very relaxed when you do this. Kick back simply means to relax. 

For example, 
"It rained all weekend so we kicked back and relaxed at home."
"Why are you always so stressed? Just learn to kick back sometimes!"
