KICK BACK

Dear Teachers,

1. They're broke. They've gone through their paycheck for the week already.

- What does "paycheck" mean?

2. I've had a bad day,too. I just want to kick back and relax.

- What does "kick back" mean?

3. Just because you had a bad day today doesn't give you permission to take it out on me.

- What does "take it out on me" mean here?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

"paycheck" certainly does NOT mean "salary, wages, the pay that someone gets for working".
it is a private order, a note from an employer to a bank, ordering the bank to pay the employee a particular amount of money, i.e. "Pay to the order of _[employee]_"... "This amount _[pay amount]_"...
