thrown away
Tossed in trash
Thrown away describes something discarded as worthless or unwanted: I can't believe you thrown away those old letters.
The phrase often carries a note of waste or regret—opportunities thrown away, years thrown away on a dead-end job.
A thrown-away remark is one made casually, as if disposable: It was just a thrown-away comment, but it stuck with me.
