English term or phrase: "leave it late"
What is the Arabic translation for the Expression "leave it late"

To cut a long story short, I have asked that question some few days ago in an English forum but I came across with the word "kicker" provided with a picture.

I got a thorough answer but to be honest I still can't get what is "kicker" in Arabic or how can I translate "leave it late"!!

disagree  dimamarcel: I'm sorry Hassan but "leave it late" and your explanation have nothing to do with each other. Leave it late/ early is a technique used by skiers to perform certain moves.

أعتقد بأن أفضل ترجمة هي أقفز متأخراً عن المنصة
