am agree. It actually comes from the fact that anything that holds two things together is called a "brace" in the English of yesteryear. The term has over the centuries come to be synonymous with "pair" but particularly in sporting occasions.
I did however see this alternative explanation... ;-)
Its named after Paul Bracewell.
The slowest ever player in the world.
The fact he actually had two legs was amazing hence the 'two goals' being called a brace.

I found it while translating one of the articles from football-italia.net for a Polish fansite of Juventus.

you have probably never had the "pleasure" of seeing Mr. Bracewell play, but he was a stunning example of a freaky footballer. Get the ball to his feet and he was great but only a yard away and he would need a cab to get there before someone else turned up, I reckon even Dognut James could outrun him!
Shouldn't be an issue; i frequently find myself running away from your advances. I'm getting quite good at it actually.
What does 'tosser' mean exactly and how did it come about?
Is this for real?
...in modern vernacular tosser means pretty much the same as w*nker. As for its origin, I'd guess it is due to the motion of tossing a coin not being that dissimilar to the 'other' motion.

Thank you. LOL I needed to know how the term came about. :)
LOL :D
I have been listening to old british radio comedy a lot and noticed that Scotland and Scots are the subject of many jokes. Even if the topic is totally unrelated somehow they would still divert some witty remark on the Scots or Scotland. May I know why it is so?

Every country has the same, in America it's the Polish, oddly. In England it's usually the Irish. In Norfolk, it's the inbreds in Suffolk.
