throwing squid

Creating a story a story so novel and challenging that less adept readers think you're intentionally fucking with them—"throwing" random weirdness into the narrative simply to obfuscate.

"I really tried to get through your novel, but it just never made sense. It's like you're just up in your ivory tower throwing squid at me."

throw the book at

To give someone the maximum sentence for a crime or penalize very harshly.

Marty really got screwed over that jaywalking charge when the judge threw the book at him and gave him a life sentence in the federal do-me-in-the-ass prison.

Throwing Dishes

The term "Throwing Dishes" is another term for bitching. Instead of allowing others to know who is bitching at them you use the term throwing dishes. The word was created by a young man named Matthias. So if you dont want to say bitching because the person will get offended say throwing dishes.

Franco:hey whuts up
Matt: nm
Franco: cool
Matt: doode i gotta get off the computer my moms throwing dishes
Franco:literally damn
Matt: nah bitching, throwing dishes means bitching

Throws Salad

A baseball pitcher that doesn't throw with much velocity, and instead relies on a lot of off-speed/breaking balls. The reference is to the "Salad Shooter" appliance that, despite the action-oriented name, lightly spews out lettuce, carrots and other salad ingredients.

Aw man! That guy's pitching tonight? He throws salad...he couldn't strike ME out!
