tosser

One who flings

Tosser is British slang for a contemptible or pathetic person.

The word derives from toss, British slang for masturbate (toss off), making tosser literally "one who masturbates"—roughly equivalent to wanker: Don't be such a tosser.

That tosser cut me off in traffic.

The insult implies someone useless and self-absorbed.

Less familiar to Americans.
