Just to clarify, it means to put negativity on someone. If you do that, you're "throwing shade" on them.
I feel so old.

"Popping Smoke" is to retreat under cover of a smokescreen.

I picked up "throwing shade" from a colleague in Alabama about 8 years ago. I had never heard it before then, so I assumed it was a Southern thing?

I'm a Southern girl and I had never heard throwing shade before.
TR, thanks for the clarification on the popping smoke. Now I see why jjct thought it was the same as throwing shade.

Yeah, popping smoke is retreating under cover of smoke grenade, but also used to cover leaving- as in "I have to be there in ten minutes, so I'm popping smoke..." Kinda like "Ruck Up!"
