Throw out or reject right away (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eject

'throw out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'reject right away' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away' suggests deleting specific letters.
'reject' with 'r' taken out is 'EJECT'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "Turn out" , "Force out violently" , "Suddenly throw out" , "Expel, chuck out" , "Send out forcibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
