funsies
Just for kicks
Funsies appears almost exclusively in the phrase for funsies, meaning for fun or for the enjoyment of it, with no serious purpose or practical goal.
It's casual slang, often slightly playful or self-deprecating: I'm learning Korean just for funsies.
The word adds a layer of lightheartedness that plain "fun" lacks, suggesting the activity is trivial or whimsical rather than important.
