spitballs
Classroom paper projectiles
Spitballs are small wads of paper chewed or moistened with saliva and shot through a straw or flicked at targets—a classic form of juvenile mischief.
In baseball, a spitball is an illegal pitch where the ball is doctored with saliva to make its movement unpredictable.
Figuratively, to spitball is to throw out ideas casually: Let's just spitball for a while and see what sticks.
