tossable

Light enough to throw

Tossable describes something light and compact enough to be thrown casually: a tossable foam ball, tossable snacks for the road.

The word often appears in product descriptions for items designed to be thrown—frisbees, beanbags, pet toys.

Figuratively, tossable can suggest something disposable or easily discarded: tossable ideas we brainstormed but never pursued.
