kick

v.

1. [IRC] To cause somebody to be removed from a IRC channel, an option only available to channel ops. This is an extreme measure, often used to combat extreme flamage or flooding, but sometimes used at the CHOP's whim.

2. To reboot a machine or kill a running process. The server's down, let me go kick it.
