Most people think of shade as something provided by trees and plants, which comes in handy on a really hot summer day.
However, in this day and age, shade has quite a few meanings. For those of you who don’t know, throwing shade is defined by the Urban Dictionary as acting in a casual or disrespectful manner towards someone. Example: That girl threw so much shade at me when talking about my landscape.
