Brilliant!

I have to admit, being Canadian, I was ashamed of not knowing the origins of the term "hoser", but thanks to this video and Wikipedia I have been informed.

"Like the very similar term hosehead, it originally referred to farmers of the Canadian prairies, who would siphon gas from farming vehicles with a hose during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The expression has since been converted to the verb 'to hose' as in to trick, deceive, or steal - for example: "That card-shark sure hosed me." Hosed has an additional meaning of becoming drunk - for example: "Let's go out and get hosed."

The term "hoser" refers to a period before the ice resurfacing machine. The losing team had to hose off the ice. The term "hoser" can then be construed to mean loser.

Alternatively, the term may orginate as a variation of "loser"; in amateur games of hockey the losing team would have to "hose down" the rink, resurface the ice with a water hose."

My name is H0Ju, and I am a hoser.
