Tossin

Tossin is a variant spelling of "tossing." It is primarily encountered in informal writing or speech, and its usage can often be considered a dialectal variation or a simple misspelling.

The word "tossing" (and therefore "tossin'") generally refers to the act of throwing something lightly or carelessly, often with an upward motion. It can describe a single instance of throwing (e.g., "He was tossin' a ball in the air"), or a repeated or habitual action (e.g., "The ship was tossin' and turning in the storm").

"Tossin'" can also be used figuratively to describe a restless or agitated state, particularly when used with the word "turning" (e.g., "Tossin' and turnin' all night"). This usage suggests a lack of sleep or a state of mental unease.

While "tossin'" effectively conveys the same meaning as "tossing," it's important to note that it might not be appropriate for formal or academic writing. Its informal nature marks it as suitable for casual conversation, personal narratives, or when attempting to capture a specific regional or character-driven dialect. The appropriateness of using "tossin'" ultimately depends on the context and the intended audience.
