With the development of the Internet, many words have acquired new meanings. And not always the person who is just starting to climb the forums understands what other users mean. For example, what does it mean to "throw"? It is unlikely that the usual throwing of objects is meant. However, slang words are also found in narrow-profile communities, for example, sports or professional circles.
What does it mean to throw a strike?
Bowling has become a very popular sport in recent decades. However, even one who cheerfully marks the pins with a ball and goes to the track quite often, sometimes does not know the terminology. And it is unlikely to be able to say what it means to "throw a strike." Meanwhile, this is the highest class in bowling, when all skittles stray from the first run.
"Throw a strike" has a much more unpleasant meaning, it comes to "YouTube". In this case, this refers to a warning issued to the owner of the channel, which committed either a violation of someone’s copyright (I’ve scrolled someone else’s video without specifying the author) or violated certain norms (an abundance of naked bodies, violence or advertising). Ignored strike leads to blocking the channel.
Mobile slang
Even janitors and preschoolers now have cell phones. The level of use of mobile phones is different for everyone. The older generation is often not aware of what it means to "throw a homeless person"; often it doesn’t know how to do it. And the service is very useful: if there is no money to call, you can send a free message to the subscriber asking him to call. The number of SMS is limited - from 5 to 10, depending on the mobile operator.
Football and Zig
Recently, it has become very relevant to understand what it means to "throw a ridge." Some youth representatives make this gesture, not quite realizing its significance. The right hand thrown up from the heart is perceived by them as a sign of victory or greeting. However, it is worth remembering that the Nazis “greeted” each other in such a way, and the gesture with which the Druids once greeted the Sun now acquired an extremely negative color.
