And of course the one source you can find is bound to know more about the etymology of the English word toerag than the OED, isn't it. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/toerag
I know you're a spastic... there's no need to keep proving it.

The one I linked to was a lot more interesting to read than going to OED. OED, like your posts, are a bit too flavorless

The Touareg, an ancient Saharan tribe, operated the great trade routes across the Sahara desert for more than two millennia until the French colonized the area in the 19th century (an incursion the Touareg fiercely resisted). The European colonization of the region had already given us the British slang term “street Arab” for a homeless, wandering child (“The hero and heroine began life as street Arabs of Glasgow,” 1883), so it wouldn’t be too surprising if colonial encounters with the Touareg had spawned another derogatory term in the streets of London.
The reason I posted the link was to provide a more thorough analysis of the myths vs. accepted etymology. Or you could just be like reject and pointlessly rant some simplistic thought... either way, the information's available.

Or I could just follow Reject's lead and repeatedly call you a spastic ?

Except it's not an analysis based upon anything other than shite.
Yeah the internet is full of shite to entertain mongs like you... it gives you something to do other than piss away other peoples lives with your thoughts.

I haven't called him a spastic before that last time for a couple of weeks... and believe me it's hard to ignore him at times...

Even better if you could do it without real merit, it's more amusing that way.

There aren't really any names that suit you though, except maybe 'Cuddles' or 'Mr Tinky Winky', and I'm pretty sure your wife has already claimed those. Do you have any suggestions?
