| Wherever I went on Planet Terra I seemed to come across people behaving like this. Not all were Scots. |

My Glasgow upbringing inured me to this kind of conduct. We Scots are decent folk but...... |

Hardly.....he sexually assaulted a female cabin crew member, used threatening and abusive behaviour and assaulted somebody. His behaviour was so frightening, the plane had to be diverted to Gatwick and delayed for 2 hours, until flying on to Turkey.
He was jailed for 9 months and placed on the sex offenders' register.
Totally obnoxious. |

I don't know the exact meaning of tosher (not in my AE "productive" vocab) but one can extract the gist from the context and find it quite a colorful noun. Is there an equivalent verb as well (to tosh?).
As Scot noted, 'tis not a phenomenon unique to only Scots. You can find obnoxious drunks anywhere in the world.... well, almost.
Cheers,

It's a play on words. Tosser is a an abusive term similar to w*nk*r. The culprit's surname is Tosh, hence tosher.
A year or two with the sisters in Shawshank Prison would dampen Mr Tosh's ardour. |

Also reflects how 'tosser' would be pronounced under the influence 
Outdone myself there, I think, hic! |
