Throw Shade

Noun

The term "throwing shade" was already part of the mainstream lexicon for a few years before the dictionary made it official in 2017. It evolved out of the antagonistic, bitter, and often toxic culture wars and personal rivalries that the masses air out in the public realm of social media. To throw shade is to register your discontent with the words or actions of another in a public forum.
