A Canadian Explanation to all about the word HOSER, since ETRAIN loves it so much.


Hoser

slang.
1. noun: (derogatory) an oaf, or simpleton.

2. noun: (friendly) a friend, brother or faithful companion.

3. verb: hose-off; a put-off; go away, leave me; I doubt what you are saying. History: The term originates from a syndicated television comedy about a fictional television station: 'Second City Television Station' or 'SCTV.' Comedy skits on the show were presented as actual programs. One such skit was a program entitled "the Great White North" - the hosts, comedians Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (portraying Bob and Doug MacKenzie), embellished and exaggerated the stereotypical American image of how Canadians talk and act. The characters (Bob and Doug) drank beer, while bantering back and forth, inflecting their speech heavily with 'eh?' and the occasional 'hoser.'

"Back off you hoser!"

"Come here hoser, I was just kidding. "

I loved Strange Brew!

Ya know, Bob n Doug are just like my brothers Minus the toques

You got me all exited I thought Etrain was back.

Sorry, I just had to post this because my guy wasn't sure what it meant.
I'm sure Etrain will find it

He is not even on the site anymore. So I doubt it.

He told me it was about hockey. Something about the losing team having to hose off the ice or something. He sent me a testimonial about it. But again he also sent me a testimonial with our national anthem. And I am rambling now. I'm sorry. I hate stupid people who dial the wrong number.

LOL! I need to find that movie on DVD. I love the three second intermission part after they crash the van in the water. Freaking classic.

See hockey.

Knew that, just didn't want people to jump on the stereotypes

We are Canadian, people have been stereotyping us for ages.

And they always will eh?

I had some guy from Minisota ask me the other day. "Is it not cold all the time in Canada?"

I told no. In reality we are more south then you are. Look at a atlas.

so, is that what it means ya hoser?




ummmmm.....eh?

well, ya do have to admit, milk in a bag is fairly wierd!!!

Living in England I met a LOT of South Africans and they could not BELIEVE it got to -40 sometimes. I just laughed when they suggested we didn't leave the house all winter.
I said "We put on boots, mitts and scrape off the car. Go on with the day."

If Obama wins the Presidency, then I am moving to Canada.

i'm contemplating the move myself, regardless of who wins the presidency

Not as weird as BROWN cream soda.
