Mousethief, if one of those guys wrote something called 'American Woman,' I don't think I want to risk listening.

It's a rock song by the Canadian band The Guess Who. Basic message is "America sucks because of the Vietnam War." Doesn't mention the Canadian munitions companies that made a mint off the war. Dunno why not.

What are hosers? If it's obscene, don't bother explaining.

It's a made-up insult from a recurring sketch on the tv show SCTV, which sketch was called "Great White North", and consisted of two Canadian brothers who swapped insults and talked about Things Canadian in bad accents and with much stereotype exaggeration.
