Toerag comes from our pronounciation of Tuareg
British &Commonwealth Armies Middle East WW 1 and covered all the wallahs around the camp doing odd jobs Essential but got in the way,hence the affectionate usage!Carried on as a common term for all Arabs,from then to now
The real Tuaregs are still one of the great,fiercely independent nomadic peoples of the Sahara

Toe Rag,
Correctly identified as a Cloth or Rag used to wind round the feet. Used as a derogatry term as in Islam the feet come into contact with the ground and are therefore by definition 'Unclean' and the exposure thereof is considered both very rude and insulting. It is probably the 'dirtyist' thing anyone in polite society copuld use to describe a person of low charachter or loose morals.

A small strip of cloth usually white that is fastened to the back of a car that is being towed. Hence we call people that are messing us about and not behaving "a little tow rag".

It's British/Australian slang and is also spelled 'toerag.' Originally it meant:
"A rag wrapped round the foot and worn inside a shoe, in place of a sock."
.......but these days it means:
"A tramp or vagrant; a despicable or worthless person."

It's a toerag.
It's cloth that tramps wrapped round their feet when wearing boots that didn't fit.
It is now used as a derogatory term.
