English term or phrase: C.K.
Hi,

It’s from the film “Bring It On” (2000):

Rappin' White Girl: [Rapping for cheerleading try-outs] Yo! Yo! Yo! Wassup? Wassup? It's time to get busy, so let's kick this shit and knock the C.K. off your pants.

Incidentally, some versions of this quote have “face” instead of “pants”.

All the best,

Simon
