cast dispersions/cast aspersions
“Aspersions”
is an unusual word whose main meaning is “false or misleading
accusations,” and its only common use is in the phrase “cast
aspersions.” To disperse a crowd is to break it up and scatter it, which
perhaps leads some people to mistakenly associate “cast” (“throw”) with
“disperse” but the expression is “cast aspersions.”
