What is a "toss-up"?
A toss-up is a situation in which the outcome is uncertain and could go either way. It is often used to describe a decision or event where the chances of one result happening are just as likely as another. The term comes from the act of tossing a coin, where both sides have an equal chance of landing face up. In casual conversation, a toss-up may refer to anything where there is no clear favorite or winner, such as a close contest, decision, or prediction. It emphasizes that the result is equally balanced and unpredictable.
Example
It ’s a toss-up whether we should go to the beach or stay home today.
With both candidates so evenly matched, it ’s really a toss-up who will get the job.
It ’s a toss-up whether I ’ll make it to the meeting on time with this traffic.
