heads or tails

the face of a coin or the other side of a coin. (Often used in an act of coin tossing, where one circumstance is valid if the front of a coin appears and another circumstance is valid if the other side appears.) Jim looked at Jane as he flipped the coin into the air. "Heads or tails?" he asked. It doesn't matter whether the result of the toss is heads or tails. I won't like the outcome in any case.
