Bastarding, bastard little f'ing toerags...

That is all.

Hmmm...I know I'll most likely regret asking this, but my inquisitive nature gets the better of me. What's a toerag?

Does Google not work where you are or something?

It works just fine, but it's Sunday & I'm lazy :pinch: However you shamed me into doing it. Obsolete British insult, eh? Shurely you can do better than that...

I would have but the toerags fled the scene whilst I was still sleeping.

So RoA doesn't waste anymore of anyone else's time... :ermm:

"Come back with my wallet you little toe rag"

^^^ So it's an Australian insult?

After seeing what happened during teh riots I don't think they got rid of all their convicts :\

Well, that's the nice fluffy version, but it was originally a racial slur, a toerag being a slang term for the taureg tribe, since the british were never quite able to quell them.

That's a load of bollocks... the etymology of the word is long and accurately established, see MBMs definition.
