The idiomatic expression "kind of pass" is an adverbial phrase that means to some extent, partially or relatively. It can be used in various contexts such as expressing uncertainty, hesitation, indecision, or a lack of commitment. For example, one might say "I kind of pass on the idea," meaning they are not fully committed to it but also not completely against it; or "He gave me kind of pass," indicating that he was somewhat helpful but not entirely so.
