Toss it out
Shitcan is vulgar slang meaning to discard, reject, or fire.
You shitcan a bad idea by throwing it out.
A company shitcans an employee by terminating them: They shitcanned the whole department.
As a noun, a shitcan is a garbage receptacle or, in military slang, a latrine.
The word conveys blunt dismissal—something isn't just removed but thrown away like trash.
