tossing around
Throwing back and forth
Tossing around means handling something casually or experimentally.
You toss around a ball for fun rather than in serious play.
To toss around an idea is to discuss it informally without commitment: We've been tossing around the idea of moving to Portland.
The phrase suggests exploration rather than decision—nothing is settled yet.
