What's worse: being a "tosser" or a "frother"?
Question about british vernacular

I don't know which of the two is worse but if you frothed what you tossed, that would be really really bad.
Tosser or Wanker?
Worst ----------------------------------------> Best
Wanker Tosser Frother
Given that best in this case is still not great...
Wanker Tosser Frother

SO then is a wanking frother = a tosser? But I guess A frothing wanker would be worse than a wanking frother because a wanker is a wanker regardelss of the adjective
A frothing tosser might equal a wanker but a wanking frother is lower than a tosser.MMike said:
A frothing wanker would be lower than all.
So it is safe to say that N8 is frothing wanker, and DT is just a frothing tosser?
I have to admit to a certain fondness for N8. It kinda crept up on me but it is there... Therefore I feel that you are being a little harsh on him.ummbikes said:

I must admit to having never heard the word "frother" anywhere but on RM.
I assumed it was some sort of net lingo like "LOL" or "BRB".
Wanker and Tosser are among my favorite terms. They just sound so perfectly like what they mean.
What exactly is a Toss-pot though?

I'm sorry N8, you are person with feelings who deserves respect. I guess you will just be a regular frother in my eyes. I really like everyone here, N8 included. He takes crap as well as he dishes it out.fluff said:

What is a Frother?
As the latest dictionaries have yet to catch up with us, here is our definition of a frother:
"...one who as a result of childhood trauma or chemical imbalances seeks stimulation through exploring fantastical situations within a framework of rules. Frothers are so called because of the many small bubbles of saliva formed when they examine or discuss aspects of these situations, the rules, and any props required by the rules- usually at great length and with a completely unnecessary attention to detail. This makes them very unattractive to members of the opposite sex, thus compounding their trauma."

Yeah, Frother ain't pucka English. Masturbatory slang words 'Tosser' and 'Wanker' most assuredly are though. And Toss-Pot is pretty much interchangable with Tosser. It implies you are the lowly vessel into which one might 'toss'. As for which is worse, I actually think Tosser has the potential to be delivered with more venom, but it depends on the prowess of the deliverer. They both mean the same thing and are used in similar situations.valve bouncer said:
I would go with wanker for someone I really despised doing something deliberately annoying, whereas tosser is useful when people you like are just plain dumb.Changleen said:
Ive always found wanker or wank to be the more jovial of the two.
One might summon his mates in a bar by saying, "C'mon ya wanks, this place is dead. Let's go to the next pub."

heres my take on the words tosser and wanker
this is kinda the way the words are used around this way
i'd say tosser would be the worst, most insulting of the terms.
when you use the word wanker it sould be a sharp quick blast like the word is bursting out of your mouth, try emphisising on the A.
its a common insult, normally used when the person is just within hearing range, dosnt normally get a big rise out of the target, just a nasty look, good for testing the water.
i also use it a lot as a way to express my anger towards people when they cant hear me, like other road users.
its also more of a reactionary or even playful insult not really meant to hurt the target, i mean i'lloften use it to get my buddies attention, or just a playful "alright wankers" as a greeting, often responded to by a chorus of "alright prick!!", yes i know, its a very pleasant greeting
.
very over used if you ask me.
tosser on the other hand is normally said slowly and follows another swear word, its usually said with a lot more emotion behind it, i personally think this one is more effective, has more of a deep bite to it.
normally will be responded to by a quick "what the F#&k did you call me?" as the target turns round.
can also be used as a playful term but only at the right time.
i've never heard of frother before, dosnt sound too insulting though.

Changleen is a Chav*.... is that worse than a wanking tosser or a tossing wanker?

well i wouldnt say its as effective as an insult its more of a way of describing a certain type of people, class or culture.
chavs are the scum of the earth, not all are bad but the majority are, but its not commonly used against non chavs as an insult, and to use it against a chav just isnt effective as they seem to be proud of it .
its a word used more often between normal people when they are complaining about or insulting chavs when there are no chavs present.
i suppose the only way to describe a chav would be to show you a website.
www.chavscum.co.uk/
(warning this may scar you for life)
its just too hollow of an insult, because if your not chav its pretty clear your not a chav, and it'd just make the person calling you it sound like an idiot.
but that may change with time.
i suppose if i was to be called a chav i wouldnt take much offense, i would just look at the person calling me it with a confused look, then laugh condescendingly at them.
