"Throwing Shade"

Don't use it, if that's what you're asking.

Do you use the term "throwing shade?"

Rarely. Depends on the company I'm in.

If you do, do you consider yourself trendy?

---

No, just cognizant of what will/won't resonate with my audience.

quote:

If you don't, do you consider it trashy?

N/A, but good lord this site has run the word "trashy" into the damn ground

Jankin', clownin', dissin' etc

I throw shade to posters on here in the BC constantly because I'm a dick.

Thanks. I feel more urban now

No, I'm not 12 yrs old.

I don't use it. I've never heard anyone use it in a professional business setting or meeting. The only time I've ever heard it used was by those who didn't appear to have a professional type job and was usually at a gas station or Walmart.

With that said, I'll give the term a trashy vote.

No, just a phrase that has passed.

FIFY

No.

I'm not dark enough to use that phrase

I used to use it to describe what I liked about my trees. Then it got to the point nobody knew what I meant.
