GET A KICK OUT OF SOMETHING

Hey you,

To get a kick out of something is to be amused by a situation.

e.g.

Brian: What did you tell on me at school today?
Cindy:To get a kick out of it.

or

Bullies may get kick out of seeing others in pain

Aggressive teens' brains light up at the sight of distress, experts say

See you.

LACONIC

Hi fellows,

Laconic is an adjective and it means concise; using few words to communicate.


e.g.

No one was surprised Brian's acceptance speech had 12 words. He's always had the reputation for being laconic.

or

Bill Murray, the actor, has become increasingly minimal, increasingly mysterious.

He’s always been sardonic, always been laconic, always appeared smarter and a tad bitter in even more mainstream hits like Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day.
