Definition

The "alive and kicking" phrase dates back to at least the early-19th century when it referred to people actually being able to kick as a sign that they were still alive. AAK was eventually adopted as an acronym for the phrase in the late-1990s and 2000s as Internet lingo and texting became more commonplace.

They're the automotive equivalent of breadcrumbs, except they tell the story of your commute through slushy hell. Consider them your car's way of shedding its winter coat, one gross clump at a time.
