Kicked after dropping
Dropkicked is the past tense of dropkick—a kick where the ball is dropped and struck just as it bounces, or in wrestling and fighting, a jumping kick with both feet.
Figuratively, to dropkick something is to reject or dismiss it forcefully: I dropkicked that idea the moment I heard it.
