I visualized "try" as watching a young child climb something that might be out of their comfort zone, so you're letting them, but stay ready to "catch" them if something goes wrong. I suppose "throw" would be if they soiled themselves in their fall, you can throw them back into the arms of their loving parent for cleaning.

But fuck_around, find_out and yeet would be fantastic.
