flick
Swift finger strike
A flick is a quick, light motion—a snap of the fingers, a flip of a switch, a brush of the wrist: She flicked a crumb off the table.
To flick through something is to browse it rapidly: flicking through channels, flicking through a magazine.
In casual speech, a flick is a movie: We caught a flick last night.
A chick flick targets female audiences.
