Meaning: Throw
You’re hitting Ikea furniture with your nailbat, busting it apart. But, this isn’t fun enough, so you ask your friend to start throwing it at you so you can hit it in the air.
Feel the heaviness of the things you’r hitting. It probably hurts your hands and arms just because of the mass of the items being thrown at you. Also wonder how your friend got so strong. He’s able to throw this furniture as if it were nothing!
Reading: とう
Then an accident happens. Your friend throws a drawer set at you, and you smash it to bits… but, the drawer was full of knives, and they go flying everywhere. Somehow you survive, none of them hitting you, except one… which goes right through your big toe (とう).
Do you feel relieved by this? Are you freaking out? Come up with your reaction and act it out in your head, all the time focusing in on your poor toe.
