frisbee

Tossed park toy

A frisbee is a plastic disc designed to be thrown and caught, gliding on air currents when spun with a flick of the wrist.

The name comes from the Frisbee brand, now used generically for any flying disc.

Frisbees are tossed casually at parks and beaches, or used in organized sports like ultimate frisbee and disc golf: We threw the frisbee around until it got dark.
