"Throw Sun, Not Shade"

Have you ever heard someone use the words, "throw shade"?  I overheard a couple of Caleb's friends using these words a few times.  I asked Caleb what it meant and he explained.  I decided to check it out online, going to UrbanDictionary, that defines throw shade as 'talk trash about a friend or acquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect'.  Sounds like the 'criticizing and complaining' C's to me.  Not wanting to miss an opportunity to tease Caleb, I started using the words over and over again and told him I was going to start talking like that around his friends.  "Don't do that Dad.  Those words are so dead.  You have zero chill."  I replied grinning, "Hey, you're throwing shade at me right now Caleb.  Savage, right?  By the way, what the heck is a zero chill?" 

Seriously, don't we unconsciously throw far too much shade around these days and to what end?  As Kim says, why not choose to throw sun instead?  It's so much better for everyone, our self included.  Isn't "throwing sun" a cool way to express Sailing the Seven C's of criticizing and complaining (ie. throwing shade)?   Why not throw sun and be kind, compassionate, positive, and playful instead?  Besides, UrbanDictinary adds to its definition that, 'When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the uncool one.'  So, what about it everyone?  Throwing sun is the bomb.com.  Let's give a shout out or #hashtag to throw sun, not shade.  "Amirite?"  Okay, am I trying too hard to be an extra with that last one?  LOL
