Why is a tosser a tosser?

[I_am_not_mafia]

I always liked shite better. Maybe because it sounds more like our word for it.

But I get your drift about the accents. There's nothing more enjoyble vulgar as some native really going on a cursing spree.

Especially Scots.  

The only thing I've seen comparable to that are the Bavarians. Seeing a Bavarian in full on rant mode is a beautiful sight. German's fun. I think of it like a fighting language. I enjoy trying to emulate a Bavarian rant but my German isn't good enough by a long shot to do it justice, yet alone being able to speak Bayerisch. I remember one morning before work looking out the window as the big busty blonde neighbour was ranting at the work men who were feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
