You want meaning 5b of Websters on-line, noun "kick".

"a stimulating or pleasurable effect or experience"

As in Cole Porter's "I get a kick out of you".

hi,
sorry for (may be) the simple question,
i am now in rereading some wiki docs
(about Fossil, bootdir, ...) and can`t
fully understand what means the expression
``for kicks'' or ``just for kicks''. i know
what means ``just for fun'' :) Could you
please describe it or give me a synonym.
thanx
