Kick-Ass

I love this word. Yes it is slightly profane. I don't really know what it means or it's origin. But it makes me smile everytime I hear it. Jack Black is the King of this word. He and it are synonymous. | Submit or via email

lumber: (via hoverbike prototype) “working in his spare time, australian mechanical engineer chris malloy claims to have invented a working ‘hoverbike’, operated like a motorcycle. measuring 9.8 long by 4.3 wide and 1.8 feet high (3 x 1.3 x 0.55m) the prototype bike seats a single pilot between two oak and carbon fibre-blade two-blade propellers, currently exposed but which for safety reasons will be covered in mesh in future models. in basic flight design, the bike is modeled after tandem-rotor chinook helicopters, whereby the two rotors rotate in opposite directions, canceling one another’s torque and thus increasing stability and efficiency of the vehicle.”
