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?

[NotLettingItGo]

Does Google not work where you are or something?

[teflon05]

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

[NotLettingItGo]

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...

toe rag

The definition derives from old England where convicts used to tie bits of shirt around their toes and feet as a make shift sock, hence "toe rag" means scoundrel, criminal, thief, indencent/unlawful person etc. It is sometime seen spelled Tow Rag because the original context has long since been obsolete.

"Come back with my wallet you little toe rag"

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.
