Explanation:
It seems to me that you could use this way of approaching the translation: "Are you tripping or are you just plain dumb in the head? ..." or maybe: "Are you tripping or just braindead?..."
My Swedish to Norwegian dictonary says this: kick -en, -ar (sjarg.) spark, skubb; (narkotika)trip.
I might be wrong, but to me this sounds like the underlying meaning here.
