toerags
Low-life petty criminals
Toerags is British slang for contemptible people—worthless, untrustworthy lowlifes.
The term carries a tone of dismissive disgust rather than serious menace: Those toerags nicked my bike.
Originally rags wrapped around feet in place of socks, the word came to mean vagrants, then broadened to general insult.
Singular: toerag.
