Joel, a tosser is something akin to the slang 'wanker'. It's a derogatory term in most instances, but here we use it more as a term of enderment, or wear the term as a badge of honour, i.e., being called a tosser by a regular here means you're one of us.

The more I see that in print, the more disturbed I think we all are!
