Rejected everywhere, we hear (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

threw out

'rejected' is the definition.
(to throw something out is to reject it)

'everywhere we hear' is the wordplay.
'everywhere' becomes 'throughout' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'throughout' sounds like 'THREW OUT'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
