Hi

What is the meaning of 'toing and froing' and these two original words? Could I have some sample sentences?

Thanks

If you go "to and fro" it means you go back and forth, back and forth.
"Toing and froing" is a humorous way to refer to the action of going back and forth.

All this toing and froing is wearing me out. Can't we just pick one place and stay there?

And,

We have toed and froed a lot so far. Can't we just pick one place and stay there from now on?
