To send by email. The phrase is built on a phonetic pun from the early days of the Russian internet: the English word “mail” sounds quite like the Russian word мыло (“soap”). Combined with the verb кинуть (“to throw, toss”), it became the ultimate casual shorthand for electronic communication.
Если хочешь, могу по мылу кинуть, запросто. Но только чтоб никто посторонний не видел.
If you want, I can mail it to you, easy. But make sure that no one else sees it.
