threw aside
Tossed away carelessly
Threw aside means tossed something out of the way, typically with a quick, dismissive motion: She threw aside the blanket and jumped out of bed.
Figuratively, it means to abandon or discard something abstract—a plan, a belief, a concern: He threw aside his reservations and signed the contract.
The gesture implies haste or disregard.
