Before the advent of waterborne sewage systems waste buckets were left on the corners of streets for collection. People used to toss the waste in the buckets sifting through it for valuable items: rings; watches; and broaches, very much like down-and-outers rummage through rubbish (garbage) bins in affluent areas today. The sheer ghastliness of shifting through human excrement meant that the term 'tosser' conjured up depravity and poverty, and it was a very bad insult indeed.
