Kiting

Particularly used in the 1980's/1990's in the UK (maybe decade before and/or after) - Using stolen/fraudulently acquired credit cards, cheque books and debit cards, etc, in order to obtain cash money from the 'victims' bank and/or using the cards to use fraudulently in shops in order to obtain (most often) high value items by 'false representation' (legal term) to (often) sell onwards for a lower price (usually half original price or less depending on circumstances) to a person/persons who may then potentially be involved in "receiving stolen goods" (legal term) if they're aware that the goods were obtained illegally.

Just bought some (stolen) credit cards on the cheap, shall we call "BLANK" & see if they'll come kiting with us to make a raise (slang for making illicit cash)...

Kiting

1) The act of flying a kite.
2) The fraudulent use of a cheque, etc. in order to receive payment for it twice.
3) A micro technique in certain games such as MMORPG's and RTS's whereby a player continually moves their units around to make it harder for the enemy to attack them, sometimes to the extent where they are unable to attack at all.
4) A pose notably done by the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority in which people raise one arm and lower another while linking the top and bottom arms together to make multiple diamond shapes.

1) Are we going to go kiting? I hope I'm not gonna be like Charlie Brown.
2) He has done cheque kiting before.
3) Kiting in Starcraft 2 gives the advantage of giving longer ranged units time to reload.
4) Oh, my friend posted another of those kiting photos with her Theta sisters on Instagram.

Mississippi kite

A black man handing from a tree.

Commonly used by white people in the Deep South prior to the Civil War.

I was going for a walk through a small town and came across a tree full of Mississippi kites.
