@ETMoore and what's the difference between flicks and movies

@HDGD "flick" is slang and is sometimes used if the speaker does not think the movie is very valuable

@ETMoore so if I didn't like the movie I can say is a flick
- English (US)
@HDGD Yes, but it's not always negative. It's mostly just a very casual way to say movie.

When used as a noun, “flick” is a slang word for “movie.” It is often used as part of the phrase “chick flick,” which is a movie that is mainly appealing to females. I don’t really hear this word being used other than in the phrase “chick flick.”
When used as a verb, “flick” means to hit someone with your finger; dar un capirotazo.
