As there are several stage words of manifest Gipsy origin, I am inclined to derive this from the old Gipsy Priss, to read. In English Gipsy Prasser or Pross means to ridicule or scorn. Something of this is implied in the slang word Pross, since it also means "to sponge upon a comrade," &c., "for drink." TOSHERS are in English low language, "men who steal copper from ship's bottoms."
