甩 (shuǎi) — to fling, swing, or throw with a whipping motion; to shake off, leave behind, get rid of; (colloquial) to dump (a romantic partner)
Definition
甩 (shuǎi) emphasizes a whipping or swinging motion — flicking an arm, shaking something off, or colloquially dumping a partner. Stronger physical force than 扔 (a plain throw); for 'abandon a person' it's more casual than 抛弃.
