tossing up
Lobbing into air
Tossing up is flipping a coin to decide something by chance: We're tossing up for who goes first.
In British and Australian usage, it also means weighing options when the choice is close: I'm tossing up between the fish and the pasta.
The phrase implies genuine uncertainty—either outcome seems equally likely.
