뜻
Rejecting something with contempt
문화적 배경
The idiom is central to the 'Self-Respect Movement' (Suya-mariyadhai Iyakkam) rhetoric, where discarding oppressive traditions was encouraged. A 'Mass' hero is often defined by his ability to 'thookki eriyal' wealth or power for the sake of the poor or his own dignity. In the context of the diaspora, it's often used when discussing the rejection of Western values that conflict with traditional roots. Young professionals use it to describe 'rage-quitting' or rejecting low-ball salary offers.
Use with 'Vittu'
Adding 'vittu' (தூக்கி எறிந்துவிட்டு) makes the action sound more complete and decisive.
Avoid with Elders
Using this about a gift from an elder is considered very disrespectful.
