throw shade

To begin with, I need to make it clear to those who don’t know that the throwing-shade, dissin’, “reading” style that carried Miss Camille to fame was a persona she assembled after years of ethnographically studying the mannerisms of vernacular black culture, especially black gay sub-culture, and most especially the culture of the black queen.

First we pick out an overhang which will throw shade most of this time, but at the same time will not cast too much shade during those hours which are not overheated.
