You know Gayle you are right it is spelled toe-rag according to the Dictionary of Slang and I’m not prepared to challenge it.
Noun. A contemptible or worthless person. From the cloth that was worn around one's feet as a sock, usually by vagrants. [Mid 1800s]

All these years I’ve been labouring under a misapprehension.
