Topic: Take off, ya Hoser | |
---|---|
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. " |

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. |

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." |
