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?

Me- "You... wanked, at work, all day?"

This really made me chuckle OP

What everyone said

Re dossing- it’s not people just getting them both confused-

Dossing off = skiving
Tossing it off = skiving

I have never associated it with skiving. I would say dossing about, or a dosser.

Means both.

wanking. any kind of tossing is wanking. when i facetime my mum and she asks dad to toss the salad...i laugh like a 12 year old because it means wanking.

Wanking

West Yorkshire

tossing off is wanking

Tossing IT off is doing bugger all, usually said around a task that isn’t being completed

I’m Yorkshire too and agree with MaybeitsMaybelline

Dossing means to skive

Tossing off is wanking only. Im southern but live in the south and have never heard of tossing it off to mean skivving.

Wanking, never heard it used to mean skiving

I have seen 'tossing it off' used to mean drinking a drink down in one go - ie. "He picked up the whisky and tossed it off, before slamming the glass down and stalking out of the bar".

I have never heard 'tossing it off' as a euphemism for skiving/dossing at work, and as far as I know, wanking is 'tossing one off'.

I look at context as means both things to me.

I'm from the north west, never heard of tossing meaning skiving. Throwing/wanking to me.

I have never heard that phrase ever but I would assume it meant throwing something. I tossed my coat on the sofa.

Oh this is hilarious it definitely means wanking to me!
Dossing is skiving

To me it can mean wanking, skiving or binning something

Tossing it off means doing nothing
Tossing off means wanking

Wanking.

Never heard it mean skiving (I'm in Scotland).

Also Yorkshire agree with MaybeitsMaybelline

Tossing it off to me means being lazy/skiving
I'm in West York's

Skiving- South Yorkshire

It means wanking.

I'm from London.

It can mean both depending on context.
If you tossed it off... it means you messed about or skivved
If you tossed off... it means you had a wank
If you tossed them off.. it mostly means you wanked them off except in some circumstances where you might metaphorically mean you buttred them up

I think wanking euphemisms are generally used to imply messing about or wasting time arent they?

Americans don't use tosser so won't understand the phrase .
