raufwerfen

1.

to throw up, to throw on

(In the literal sense of throwing something up somewhere. Think of a dad throwing a candy bar up the his kids in the tree house. "hochwerfen" is more common in my opinion. Can also be herauf (motion) and "drauf" (end location).)
Examples
  • "Hey... Entschuldigung. Mir ist meine Brille vom Balkon gefallen. Können Sie mir die vielleicht raufwerfen?"
  • "Hey... excuse me. I accidentally dropped my glasses from the balcony. Could you maybe throw them up to me here?
