1.
Intoxicated — high, drunk, or both — and by extension anything wild, excellent, or out of pocket. In Houston it carries the whole mood of the city's slowed-down, syrupy sound.
“That beat is throwed; turn it up.”
Origin & Attribution
Houston vernacular tied to the chopped-and-screwed, "slowed and throwed" aesthetic of DJ Screw and the city's rap scene, where the slowed tempo and the state of being throwed describe the same haze.
