A “throwaway” is an internet slang term that refers to a temporary or disposable account or persona used by users online. This term is typically used when someone creates a new account solely for a specific purpose and does not intend to use it in the long term.

Examples:

1. When someone wants to share a personal or sensitive story anonymously, they might create a throwaway account on a forum or social media platform. This allows them to share their experience without revealing their true identity.

2. In online discussions or debates, some users may create throwaway accounts to express controversial opinions or make provocative statements without the fear of long-term consequences or backlash affecting their primary account.
