toerag

Obsolete British insult: a toerag is a piece of cloth worn on the foot under the boot to substitute a sock, especially in winter, and by vagrants. Something that is squalid and disgusting; by extension, a bum, vagrant or tramp.

Preceded more obscene (and thereby effective) insults such as tosser or wanker. It has fallen into disuse also because it invokes an element of the old class system, snootishness and looking down your nose at the lower classes.

A derogatory British insult made antique by more popular words (Wanker, etc); Used to describe one who is seen as worthless in Society.

The word 'toerag' is believed to come from a rag used to wash the feet with, making it very lowly thought of.
They were just a bunch of toerags anyway.
