throw something on
throw on

I just came in here to throw some cold water on my own face.

I can't just throw him back on the street, not the way things are now.

Throw them on the floor, and an hour or so later they were gone.

Now he may also have decided to throw some light on his private life.

The rest of the hour had to be spent throwing water on the fire.

And as for his food, throw it on the floor.

I thought it might throw some light on the situation.

"We're not going to throw people on the street who cannot help themselves."

He threw a bill on the table and got up.

He might throw some light on that which is so dark to us.
