Explanation:
kive has the following meanings:

* To skive is British slang for the practice of avoiding responsibilities because you want to do something more fun or just don't want to do what you should be doing.
o In the context of schooling, this is known as truancy.
o In the military, this falls short of both absence without leave (also known as "going AWOL") and desertion.

In the explanation, it should be "Skive" not "Kive," my mistake when copying and pasting.
