Kick A$$

Kick Ass: This is a term used in many ways and at many times during the course of my life. I would say that the first major use of this term probably occurred during my PSU days especially with my roomies, Donna and Lorry.

I believe that "kick ass" can be used in many grammatical fashions such as:

You kick ass!" verb

You're kick ass! adjective

The kick ass sits over there. noun

You get the point.

Here's a few things I can think of. I will try to keep this updated as I think of more things.
