While “Hoser” is derogatory word commonly used to call people losers, according to Facebook Medical, and reported by our downtown Neighborhood Bar, if you were a child hoser, you are immune to the Coronavirus. I don’t know how much faith one can put in Facebook Medical, but if it’s true, I drank from a hose as a kid, and still do when I’m out working on the property.
Hoser originated during the pre-zambonian era in Canada. Hosers, the losing team, had to hose down the ice after the game.
Off Center & Not Even 
Thanks for the history of the term 🙂
You are welcome, Susan.
I must be immune! the little pleasures of childhood. Hosers reminded me of the 80’s song Take Off to the Great White North. 😎
Hi John. It’s interesting what triggers memories of songs. I vaguely remember the Great White North. A couple of silly Canadians?
I drank from the hose too, Timothy. I’m so glad I’m immune to the coronavirus. 😉 You just gave me a big smile, thanks.
That’s great. I don’t know if kids drink from hoses these days. Kid’s don’t seem to go out and play like we used to. Thanks, Jet.
Sounds good to me! I drank from a hose. Hope it helps! LOL
I guess it does if you don’t get it. right? Thanks, Kendall.
That’s for sure!
I also drank from the garden hose as a kid, but I wouldn’t want to bank on having any immunity from any viruses in the coronavirus family. 🙂
I wouldn’t count on it either. But I guess there’s always hope? Thanks, Lavinia.
Drank from a water hose too. But, if you were to shop for water hoses these days, there’s a water hose that is designed for this purpose.
Those hoses designed for drinking probably don’t have the same effect. Thanks, David.
True. Gotta taste the insides of a hose when you drink from it. 🙂
Ha ha. Probably as much truth as many theories going about.
That’s one way to look at it. Thanks, Couriers.
I always wondered what makes you so peculiar and eccentric (off center & not even), now I know the secret is drinking from a hose🌴
Hi Dot. I like to think of myself as an “eccentric singularity” — being infinity weird at any point in space or time.
Excellent.
Thanks, rabirius.
I can’t remember if my boys drank from the hose when we prepared the slip n’ slide. They probably already saw that memo. Better late than never for the experience.
Did you drink from a hose as a kid? Thanks, Dawn.
I did. You bet
I think we have progressed.,great capture and lesson. 🥳🎉💜
Whew! I guess I can relax now, I’m safe too!
I’m happy to hear it. Thanks, Tiffany.
I am definitely immune!
Great. Thanks, Nancy.
Oh and we drank from the creek that was so crystal clear. 😬😳
We would dring from the springs in the mountains.
Interesting story -)
Thanks, Harry.
Back then, we didn’t carry bottled water and I don’t recall the hose water tasting as nasty as it does now.
Better hoses in the past? Thanks, Robin.
I played and drank from the hose as a kid. Even once washed my hair with the hose as a kid when our power was out.
When we lose power, we don’t have water, either. Thanks, Teri.
As a Canadian, and knowing your wry eye for humour, I scrolled down with ease.
This is ridiculous! Everyone knows that kids who drank from hoses are immune, not! LOL!
FB Medical…..right!
Oh you Canadian of little faith. Thanks, Resa.
Yes… well.. the Zamboni scrapeth, and smootheth.
Speaking of Zamboni, had you seen Red Green’s Zamboni from a K-Car?
LOL! No!
I’d be happy if they’re right. Although I don’t think I’ve ever drunk from the hose, my sweetheart still does, in an emergency.
I would count on it, but then again… Thanks, Susan.
