I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'throw' is the definition.
(chuck means throw as does sling)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sling that I've seen before include "Old weapon or supporting strap" , "Throw, fling" , "Keeping afloat" , "Stone-throwing weapon" , "Bandage support; hurl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
