How it's used

Beyond the literal military meaning, this term is a common football metaphor for a long, high-velocity throw-in that reaches the penalty area. It implies a tactical weapon that disrupts the defense, similar to how a real grenade causes chaos. You will often hear it used by commentators or fans when a player has an exceptionally strong arm.

Common phrases

deng3掟sau2手lau4榴daan2彈

to perform a long, powerful throw-in

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with a standard throw-in, which is simply called 掟界外球. Using 手榴彈 to describe a normal throw-in will sound bizarre, as it specifically emphasizes the extreme power and tactical threat of the throw.
