kited
Passed bad checks
Kited is the past tense of kite, with meanings branching from the flying toy.
To kite a check is to write one without sufficient funds, hoping to cover it before it clears—the check "floats" like a kite.
In gaming and combat, to kite is to attack while staying just out of an enemy's reach, leading them on: She kited the boss around the room until her cooldowns reset.
Kited can also mean moved rapidly: He kited across the parking lot.
