flicking

A flick is a small movement or gesture, like when you quickly flip your wrist or shoulder.

You might see people use "flick" to describe different types of movements. In sports, like tennis or baseball, a flick can mean a quick, precise motion that makes the ball go exactly where you want it to. For example, if an athlete hits the ball with a hard, fast flick, it's going to fly over the net. In everyday language, someone might say they gave something a little flick to get rid of it – like when you flick a piece of paper off your desk. It can also mean a small amount of movement or action in general, like a character taking a quick flick through a magazine or book.
