Meanings of "Kind of/kinda"

English

Almost, in a sort of way, approximate, to a degree. Not quite exact in the subject being discussed but near what is spoken of. It expresses the vagueness of something, or the desire to make it vague. It is the same as 'sort of'. "I kind of spent the money", (that was for something else).

Cheloo - The World Has Changed

The city boy is such a good chef, he's nice, hot
He's Listenin' to that type of "good music", that's only instrumental
He's caressin his hair fine, doesn't touch his balls
'Cause mommy willn't provide no more dough, if hesn't a good behaved boy

Miranda Lambert - Actin' Up

Mirror, mirror on the saddle, hear my rhinestones rattle
Actin' up
Billy Bob Texas pickin' out new exes
Actin' up

Placebo - Swallow

Confiscate
razor blade

Adam Lambert - A Loaded Smile

If I say I'm sorry
It's just me telling a lie
When you're in my arms
I feel emptier inside

Diana Vickers - Mr. Postman

Technology (technology)
Is kinda boring me (boring me)
I can't hold it tight in the night
And that's no good for me
