Surface Forms

tosser singular
tossers plural

Morphology

tosser = toss (opaque) = toss + er

Although formed from 'toss' + '-er', the modern British slang meaning 'insulting person; idiot' is not predictable from the literal 'one who tosses'.

Etymology

Tosser comes from the verb toss ('to throw') and from an older rude use meaning 'to masturbate'. So it became a strong insult for someone thought to be stupid, annoying, or contemptible.
