A word from Winston Churchill’s prodigious vocabulary.
I’m working my way through Churchill’s The Gathering Storm in between a few other books.  
In a letter to Sir Samuel Hoare, First Lord of the Admiralty in 1936, Churchill expounded upon the merits of 16-inch guns versus 14-inch guns for new British Navy ships, and the ramifications for ship design under the Washington Naval Agreement.  

    However, these are only vaticinations!  I went through all this in bygone years, or I would not venture to obtrude it on you.  

Suggested usage:
Ogden obtruded Oscar’s oilcan as an oleaginous answer for Olivia’s squeaky wheel in an obvious attempt to obtrude himself upon her.

Etymology:

Latin obtrudere : ob-, against ; see ob- + trrdere, to thrust; see treud- in Indo-European roots.

Sounds obtrusive enough to be Churchillian—congratulations, Larry !...

in Spanish tirar means both to throw and to draw (to pull).  it is interesting to note that though the etymology for the English words doesn’t seem to coincide:

throw < OE thrAwan
draw  < OE dragan

the similarity is obvious (th = d, a = 0 = some vowel).  

Also, the OHG drAen meant to turn which brings to mind the potter’s wheel where in a single motion one draws and throws.

Modern Swedish offers drejskiva for potter’s wheel where the draw is evident.  For throwing, the choice is att kasta, a word with a rich English counterpart that curiously includes the meaning of turning.

it makes the mind spin, doesn’t it?

As the world tirades... To coin a verb!
