to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one

I was all up in the club "Throwing Shade" last night.
I saw the bitch in the club last night, and she threw me shade. (OR) I saw the bitch, and threw her shade.
That bitch is throwin shade `cause she's ugly as fuck!!
If I were butt fucking ugly, I would throw shade too!
"Bitch" can be either be a biological female OR a gay male
Throwing Shade is typically a term gay men use.
