Had to reparse "throw out ..." a few times before I understood what you saying. Initially I thought you were withdrawing your former endorsement.

- amygdyl 9y agoI parsed and reparsed just like you and I stalled again, while I imagined the sentence again as "throw up", trying to make a quick fix. OP has picked a tricky one..
- jdcarter 9y agoApologies! It's an expression I use commonly, like "let me throw this idea out there..." Now that you bring my attention to it, however, it does seems backwards, and I'm sure it's baffling to non-native speakers. Thanks for the heads-up.
