whats a hoser and how do you use it in Canadian?

Answer 1

Links below will give you an idea.
Also, in a factory I worked in many years ago, it was used interchangeably with terms like "dummy," "airhead," etc. "Hosehead" is another variation. I think the English use the term "deft."

From my knowledge, both words actually spring from different cultures - hoser is Canadian, and tosser is British. Hoser is more of a stereotype - a hoser is the quintessential young Canadian male - hockey loving, beer drinking, donut eating. Not too smart, but well meaning. Usually seen wearing plaid shirts and toques, as fondly immortalized by "Dave and Bob McKenzie" of Second City fame. Although a bit of an insult, it's not really that derogatory. The term tosser is somewhat different - it can be interchanged for the term "wanker" and both words relate to the solitary sexual activity that men indulge in, and is not intended to be a compliment. It is very much of an insult, and can be interchanged in any usage where "prick" or bastard" can be used.

Answer 4

A Hoser is the quintessential Canadian stereotype of a "Good ol'boy". A beer drinking, hockey watching, lumber jacket wearing, working class guy.

Answer 5

Only ever heard it used on Second City a TV series in the 80's as a put down. Only other time is when people were imitating Second City. They did a skit about beer drinking Canadians and it became their most popular. So, roughly, it is what you call your buddy when you are calling him names.

Answer 6

Your a hoser, if you live in the US you are a redneck!
