Oh, OK. Here in the U.S. "ginger" isn't generally considered a color (it's a spice, but not a Spice Girl).
Except there was this T.V. show called "Gilligan's Island" and one of the hot chicks was named Ginger, and I think she had red hair. There was another chick on the show named Mary Ann, and it's long been a point of contention whether one preferred Ginger or Mary Ann, but that's another story.
Anyway, a "ginger tosser" might translate best over here to "orange-haired idiot".
