    (vulgar) A vulgarized version of the phrase "kicks-and-giggles".

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shits-and-giggles

    kicks and giggles:

    amusement without any serious purpose; fun.

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kicks-and-giggles

    the private school, sheltered version of shits 'n giggles -
    making it possible to say just for the hell of it without all the cursing.

    "Let's go to the store just for kicks and giggles"

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kicks+and+giggles

    The slang usage is "Jus' Fer Kicks, Grins, and Giggles..."

    • Thanks! That's the only thing I could find also. I was kinda hoping for more history on it. It doesn't really say why people started saying it.

    • When a person gets amusement without a serious purpose,
      he hangs his head, kicks the ground and giggles.
      It is part of natural psyche of humans. No history for
      it can be traced out.

    • Thanks! Someone my hubby works with never heard the phrase, and my hubby emailed me asking about where it came from.
