Tosser - n, A member of TRF who has has had, or will have, any conversations or interchange of any kind (SKYPE) with JJ Irani; JJ Irani himself; Other definitions that will remain unspoken. Usually considered an epithet, but on TRF, it is highly prized. Etymology: Middle English (corrupted).

So should you wear your Rolex when tossing?

That is actually a good piece of advice, I believe! Just wear your Rollie on your RIGHT wrist and start tossing!

Will boost the power reserve enormously!

That is why JJ recorded such a high PR on his Explorer II lately

I believe we can toss away as much as we like now, without having a bad conscience about it, since we are basically merely throwing or casting something away!

As for tossing, well, as I sit here at my braile keyboard, I can honestly say I'd never do such a thing.

As for "wear it in good health", I can remember my grandmother always saying that to anyone who got a new piece of clothing. It became a big family joke. When I was sick, I used to ask her if it was still ok to wear certain things because she told me to wear them in good health. Used to crack her up.

Yes, a superb example of hijack art. I guess the new phrase we should use when making a comment about a new watch somone has purchased is... "Wear in good health, TOSSER!!!
