What does the phrase 'tossing it off' mean to you?

[AintNobodyHereButUsReindeer]

Both me and my friend agree that it means wanking. However, both of our husbands (who have never met, and are from completely different areas of the country) use it to mean skiving off/doing nothing. As an example -
Me- "So what have you done at work today?"
DH- "Not a lot, just tossed it off for most of the day."
Me- "You... wanked, at work, all day?"
DH- "What?! No! I meant that I didn't do any work at work today!"

(Before people pile in and ask why he's lazing about at work, DH only does nothing at work because they don't give him anything to do)

So is it wanking, or skiving?

It means both!

Tossing around means skiving or just doing nothing productive.

Tossed it off = skiving.

Tossing off/tossed off =wanking

Tossing "it" off means binning something off, cancelling it to me.

Tossing "someone" (him) off, means wanking.

Tossing off doesn't mean skiving! Dossing is skiving. Tossing is wanking.

It only has one meaning to me, and not something you'd do at work...

It means both, to me.

Toss it off = bin it off, do nothing.

Toss off = masturbate.

Tossing it off means doing something quickly/ easily

Never heard of it!! But to me it would mean wanking

"Tossing off" means wanking to me

"Tossing about" would mean doing nothing all day.

I can see how "tossing IT off" makes the meaning different but it just sounds too similar to "tossing off" to be taken seriously.

Tossing IT off=skiving, much as I’m doing now 😃

Tossing off=wanking

Tossing off = wanking

Tossing it off = never heard it before but would probably assume wanking, or possibly throwing things.

IME in the south of England it means having a wank.
In the north of England it means skiving.

Surely the word for skiving is dossing not tossing?

Tossing about: mucking around, being unproductive.

Toss it: let it go, forget it, throw it out, throw something.

Tossing off: wanking.

Only ever known it as wanking! Skiving/Binning it off would be skipping work.

I’m from the North btw.

I’m northern.

Only possible meaning to me is wanking.

I'm Northern too and tossing 'it' off means to not bother doing something.

Tossing off obviously means to partake in onanistic pleasures.

Wanking.

Tossing means throwing here (NE). But tossing off without the IT is definitely wanking

Tossing off is wanking. Tossing it off I have never heard before so my head first went to wanking then the it in the middle confused me and I did think it might make the meaning different.

Tosser= wanker

Tossing it off= skiving

Means binning it off to me. Tossing one off would be wanking.

Only ever heard it used in the context of wanking!
