tosspots
Those always tipsy
Tosspots is the plural of tosspot, a British insult for a foolish, stupid, or contemptible person.
The word originally meant a heavy drinker—someone who tosses back pots of ale—but now functions mainly as a general term of abuse: Those tosspots couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery.
