A modern way of saying to give credit to/appreciate what someone does, even if it’s easier not to. Originated from Netflix’s series “The Witcher” in which the titular character spends most of his days killing monsters for the
people he meets. He is commonly viewed as an emotionless monster himself, but a bard writes a song about him in which he sings, “toss a
coin to your Witcher, o valley of plenty...toss a coin to your Witcher, a friend of humanity”.
Geralt of Rivia (the Witcher) is often
seen and treated as an outcast, but he’s mostly just trying to help
people, so toss him a coin.
“Jeez man, my mom’s been such a bitch lately.”
“How do you
mean?”
“She’s so controlling, dude. She won’t
even let me to to Todd’s party this weekend.”
“Dude, you know that’s because she’s trying to keep you out of trouble. Yeah she can be strict, but toss a
coin to your Witcher, man. She’s tryin’ her best.
