Tosses

The word "tosses" (verb, third-person singular present) describes the act of throwing something lightly or casually, often with a slight upward motion. It implies a less forceful or deliberate throw than "throws" or "hurls." It can also describe a gentle movement or shaking, or the act of mixing ingredients. Additionally, "tosses" may metaphorically apply to the random and unpredictable nature of events or decisions, suggesting a casual and perhaps even careless handling or consideration of them. The word evokes a sense of ease, informality, or lack of serious intent, depending on the context.
